President Donald Trump dropped the news and the documents of a trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom on the sidelines of the G7 summit on Monday.
Speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump presented reporters with a new trade deal with the U.K. signed by himself, hailing it as “fair for both countries.” The announcement was interrupted by the deal’s documents falling out of Trump’s folder, leading to chuckles from both heads of state.

“Sorry about that,” Trump laughed as Starmer bent over to pick up the papers. “A little windy out here.”
“A very important document,” Starmer added with a laugh.
Trump laid further praise on the U.K. in response to a British reporter, who asked if the U.K. would be protected from future tariffs.
“The U.K. is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them. That’s why. That’s their ultimate protection,” he said, praising Starmer specifically.
A trade deal to ward off Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs was announced in May but hadn’t yet been signed. Many in the U.K. worried the situation could change, bringing further tariffs for the country.
