U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance says a "great agreement" on trade between the U.S. and UK is likely, citing President Trump’s affection for Britain and its royal family. In an interview with UnHerd, Vance emphasized ongoing talks aimed at expanding cooperation beyond tech and AI to include sectors like food and manufacturing. While British imports currently face tariffs up to 25%, Vance expressed optimism, noting Trump’s personal ties to the UK and commitment to a strong bilateral relationship.
Meanwhile, Vance dismissed Zelenskyy’s remarks on the U.S. taking Russia's side as unproductive. He said it’s unreasonable to attack a government still funding Ukraine’s war effort. “We’re not on Russia’s side,” Vance said, “but we must be realistic to find peace.”
