US, Britain Ink Trade Deal at G7 Summit

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump meet at the G7 summit, in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, June 16, 2025. REUTERS/Suzanne Plunkett/Pool NEW YORK, June 17 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday signed a trade deal at the G7 summit in Canada, Xinhua reported. "We signed it and it's done," Trump said. Starmer noted that the deal would implement bilateral agreements on auto tariffs and aerospace. The White House issued an executive order on Monday to implement the general terms of the trade deal announced on May 8. bootstrap slideshow The United States (US) will establish an annual tariff-rate quota of 100,000 automobiles, allowing a 10 per cent tariff for imports within the quota, according to the order. Meanwhile, imports of automobiles in excess of the tariff-rate quota shall remain subject to the 25 per cent tariff imposed by the proclamation on adjusting imports of automobiles and parts on March 26. US imports of Britain-made automotive parts for use in British automobiles would be subject to a 10 per cent tariff rather than the 25 per cent tariffs imposed by the above-mentioned proclamation. Moreover, the US decided to exempt British civil aircraft from the application of steel and aluminum proclamations issued on March 8 and an executive order released on April 2. Trump has directed US secretary of commerce to design and establish a tariff-rate quota for aluminum and steel articles and derivative articles made in Britain in the future. -- BERNAMA-XINHUA

South Korea and Japan to hold summit on sidelines of G7 summit

Lee, who was sworn into office earlier this month after winning the June 3 snap presidential election, is visiting Canada on his first trip abroad for the Group of Seven summit. It became "difficult" to hold a meeting between Lee and US President Donald Trump as planned after Trump was leaving the summit early, National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac told a briefing. Washington had asked for Seoul's understanding, Wi said. Lee held talks with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday, his office said. Seoul and Washington are holding working-level tariff talks, as the two sides try to agree on a deal seen as crucial for South Korea's export-oriented economy. South Korea's key sectors ranging from chips to vehicles and shipbuilding are heavily exposed to global trade. Lee, a left-leaning leader, has said pragmatism was key to his diplomacy and he would continue with security cooperation between South Korea, Japan and the United States. - Reuters
