The United States and Britain struck a trade deal on Tuesday to lift American tariffs on British steel and aluminum, while the UK will remove levies on U.S. motorcycles, whiskey, and tobacco.

Britain will be able to ship “historically-based sustainable volumes” of steel and aluminum goods to the United States starting June 1 without tariffs imposed under the Trump administration, Biden administration officials said.
