“President Trump is expected to announce a framework of a trade deal with the U.K. on Thursday, the first in what the White House hopes is a series of trade agreements since it imposed tariffs against allies and adversaries,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Washington Post: “Experts have been skeptical that any agreements reached in such a short amount of time will significantly alter trading barriers between the U.S. and other countries. Administration officials have suggested Trump might first reach agreements that would serve as frameworks for future negotiations.”

Vice President J.D. Vance alluded to frustrations within the White House about Russia’s approach to Ukraine peace talks, telling the Munich Leaders Meeting that Moscow is “asking for too much” to end its war, Politico reports.

Wall Street Journal: “President Trump has frequently said that he covets Greenland, a self-ruled part of the Danish kingdom, for its strategic position in the warming Arctic and largely untapped natural resources. In this pursuit, the White House had hoped to capitalize on the resentment that many Greenlanders feel about Denmark’s colonial legacy.”

“But for now, at least, this pressure from Washington has had an opposite effect on the 56,600 Greenlanders, most of whom are indigenous Inuit people who jealously guard their culture. In recent weeks, Greenland and Denmark have moved closer together as officials in Nuuk and Copenhagen sought to reinvigorate their relationship and to look with fresh eyes at outstanding problems.”

President Trump on Wednesday night teased a trade deal announcement with a “big and highly respected country,” The Hill reports.

The New York Times says the country is the United Kingdom.

“Details of the agreement were not immediately clear. Both nations have discussed lowering British tariffs on U.S. cars and farm goods, as well as removing British taxes on U.S. technology companies. It also was not clear whether the agreement had actually been finalized, or if the countries would announce a framework for an agreement that they would continue negotiating in the coming months.”
