Apparently it's going to be the UK (https://nytimes.com/2025/05/07/business/economy/trump-trade-britain.html…) which, if confirmed, would make his hyping of it absolutely hilarious given the Brits had been dying to make a trade deal with the U.S. ever since Brexit and the U.S. had so far refused to do so. So essentially it looks like what he wants to present as a "major" victory in his trade war is him giving Britain what it's been desperate for since 2016.
