KANANASKIS, Alberta — Britain and the United States will “very soon” begin implementing their recently-signed trade agreement, Keir Starmer said on Monday.

The U.K. prime minister told broadcasters he would meet with Donald Trump for a one-on-one later on Monday at the G7 summit in Canada to discuss the deal.

Britain was the first country to secure a deal with Trump to remove some of the blanket tariffs he has implemented.

The deal was announced back in May, but both sides have been formalizing details around trade quotas.

“I’ll be having a lot of conversations with President Trump, but we will be talking about our trade deal, because that really matters for the vital sectors that are safeguarded under our deal, and so we’ve got to implement that now,” Starmer said.

“I’m really pleased that we’re the only country that’s got a deal, and that we’re at those final stages of implementing it.”

The deal is expected to cut tariffs on British autos from 25 percent to 10 percent. However, the 10 percent auto tariff rate has a quota and will only apply to the first 100,000 cars sold to the U.S. in any given year.

In return, the U.K. agreed to remove tariffs on American imports of products like ethanol and beef.

U.K. Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds signaled on Thursday that negotiations to lower U.S. tariffs on U.K. steel could take longer.

The focus of current discussions is “not about who owns it — it’s the melt and pour rules,” he told reporters, referring to rules which would mean that steel must be melted and poured in the U.K. to qualify for tariff relief.

Starmer also said that de-escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict will be the number-one issue at this G7 summit.

World leaders are calling for both sides to step back from the brink of all-out war, after missile attacks continue to intensify in both directions.

The prime minister announced the U.K. was on Monday setting up a portal for British citizens in Israel to register themselves.

The prime minister said: “It is really important that we focus on de-escalation, because the risks of the conflict escalating are obvious across the region, beyond the region, the impact that this could and probably will have on Gaza, which is a tinderbox, and, of course, the impact on the economy.

“That is why at the G7 there is such a focus on de-escalation.”
