Executive Order 14309 of June 16, 2025
Implementing the General Terms of the United
States of America-United Kingdom Economic Prosperity
Deal
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 232
of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19
U.S.C. 1862) (section 232), section 604 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section
301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine
and order:
Section 1. Background. On May 8, 2025, United Kingdom
Prime Minister Keir Starmer and I announced the General
Terms for the United States of America and the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Economic
Prosperity Deal (General Terms). The General Terms
outline a historic trade deal that provides American
companies unprecedented access to British markets while
bolstering the national security and economy of the
United States. The deal includes billions of dollars of
increased market access for American exports,
especially for beef, ethanol, and certain other
American agricultural exports. In addition, the United
Kingdom will reduce or eliminate numerous non-tariff
barriers that unfairly discriminate against American
products, hurt the United States' manufacturing base,
and threaten the national security of the United
States.
The General Terms provide, among other things, that the
United States intends to create an annual quota of
100,000 vehicles for United Kingdom automotive imports
at a 10 percent tariff rate. In the General Terms, the
United Kingdom also committed to working to meet
American requirements on the security of the supply
chains of steel and aluminum products intended for
export to the United States and on the nature of
ownership of relevant production facilities. Provided
the United Kingdom meets these requirements, the United
States intends to promptly construct a quota at most-
favored-nation rates for steel and aluminum articles
and certain derivative steel and aluminum articles that
are products of the United Kingdom in the context of
implementing the General Terms.
Furthermore, in the General Terms, the United States
and the United Kingdom committed to negotiate
significantly preferential treatment outcomes on
pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients that are
products of the United Kingdom, contingent on the
findings of an investigation regarding pharmaceuticals
and pharmaceutical ingredients under section 232, and
provided that the United Kingdom complies with certain
supply chain security standards. Finally, in the
General Terms, the United States and the United Kingdom
committed to adopt a structured, negotiated approach to
addressing United States national security concerns
regarding sectors that may be subject to future section
232 investigations. To that end, the United States and
the United Kingdom further committed to strengthen
aerospace and aircraft manufacturing supply chains by
establishing tariff-free bilateral trade in certain
aerospace products.
In my judgment, I determine that the following actions
are consistent with the national interests of the
United States and are necessary and appropriate to deal
with the national emergency declared in Executive Order
14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a
Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That
Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States
[[Page 26420]]
Goods Trade Deficits), as amended, and to reduce or
eliminate the threats to national security found in
Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports
of Aluminum Into the United States), as amended;
Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports
of Steel Into the United States), as amended; and
Proclamation 9888 of May 17, 2019 (Adjusting Imports of
Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United
States), as amended.
Sec. 2. Automobiles and Automobile Parts. (a) I hereby
establish an annual tariff-rate quota of 100,000
automobiles as classified in heading 8703 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
and as further specified in note 33(b) to subchapter
III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS for automobiles that are
products of the United Kingdom. Imports of automobiles
within the tariff-rate quota that would otherwise be
subject to a 25 percent tariff under Proclamation 10908
of March 26, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and
Automobile Parts Into the United States), shall instead
be subject to a 7.5 percent tariff, in addition to the
most-favored-nation rate for automobiles of 2.5
percent, for a combined tariff of 10 percent. Imports
of automobiles in excess of the tariff-rate quota shall
remain subject to the full duties imposed by
Proclamation 10908. The tariff-rate quota shall be
adjusted for calendar year 2025 to reflect the General
Terms' operative date of May 8, 2025. The quota shall
be effective 7 days after the publication of this order
in the Federal Register.
(b) Automotive parts specified in note 33(g) to
subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS that would
otherwise be subject to a 25 percent tariff under
Proclamation 10908 shall instead be subject to a total
tariff of 10 percent (including any most-favored-nation
tariffs), provided that they are products of the United
Kingdom and are for use in automobiles that are
products of the United Kingdom. This change shall be
effective as of the date of the publication of the
Federal Register notice described in subsection (c) of
this section.
(c) Within 7 days of the date of publication of
this order in the Federal Register, the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary), in consultation with the United
States International Trade Commission (ITC) and U.S.

consistent with this section, if necessary.
(d) The Secretary may issue rules, regulations,
guidance, and procedures to carry out the provisions of
this section.
Sec. 3. Aerospace. (a) With respect to products of the
United Kingdom that fall under the World Trade
Organization Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft, the
tariffs imposed through the following Presidential
actions and subsequent amendments to those actions
shall no longer apply, as of the date of publication of
the Federal Register notice described in subsection (b)
of this section:
(i) Executive Order 14257, as amended;
(ii) Proclamation 9704, as amended; and
(iii) Proclamation 9705, as amended.
(b) Within 7 days of the date of publication of
this order in the Federal Register, the Secretary, in
consultation with ITC and CBP, shall publish a notice
in the Federal Register modifying the HTSUS consistent
with this section, if necessary.
(c) The Secretary may issue rules, regulations,
guidance, and procedures to carry out the provisions of
this section.
Sec. 4. Aluminum and Steel Articles and Their
Derivative Articles. (a) At a future time that the
Secretary, in consultation with the United States Trade
Representative, deems appropriate, the Secretary shall
design and establish a tariff-rate quota for aluminum
articles and derivative aluminum articles that are
products of the United Kingdom, consistent with the
General Terms and the purpose of this order. Imports of
aluminum articles or derivative aluminum articles that
are products of the United Kingdom in excess
[[Page 26421]]
of the tariff-rate quota established by the Secretary
shall remain subject to the duties set forth in
Proclamation 9704, as amended.
(b) At a future time that the Secretary, in
consultation with the United States Trade
Representative, deems appropriate, the Secretary shall
design and establish a tariff-rate quota for steel
articles and derivative steel articles that are
products of the United Kingdom, consistent with the
General Terms and the purpose of this order. Imports of
steel articles or derivative steel articles that are
products of the United Kingdom in excess of the tariff-
rate quota established by the Secretary shall remain
subject to the duties set forth in Proclamation 9705,
as amended.
(c) In determining when to establish, whether to
establish, and the design of a tariff-rate quota for
aluminum and steel articles and their derivatives, the
Secretary shall act in a manner consistent with the
national interests of the United States and the purpose
of this order and shall consider factors he deems
appropriate, such as actions taken by the United
Kingdom to implement the General Terms and any final
agreement entered by the United States and the United
Kingdom subsequent to the General Terms; the need to
deal with the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 14257, as amended; and the need to reduce or
eliminate the threats to national security found in
Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705,
as amended.

shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
