General Terms for the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Economic Prosperity Deal

Context and ObjectivesPresident Donald J. Trump and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer committed to deliver shared prosperity for American and British citizens alike. Our governments have a unique opportunity to enhance our economic partnership through the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD).

A first of its kind, the United States and the United Kingdom expect the EPD to address three core objectives, based on fairness and reciprocity:

This document serves to define the general terms for the EPD that set forth the shared desires of the United States and the United Kingdom to make bilateral trade fairer, easier, and more substantial. Alongside this document covering our trading relationship, we are continuing discussions toward a transformative technology partnership between our countries.

The United States and United Kingdom are immediately beginning negotiations of the EPD to develop and formalize the proposals made in this document. Once the initial proposals have been formalized and implemented, the United States and United Kingdom understand that the EPD can further be expanded over time to cover additional areas. Each country intends to continue to improve market access under the EPD.

Both the United States and the United Kingdom recognize that this document does not constitute a legally binding agreement.

This document becomes operative on May 8, 2025.
