Good Morning Britain was brought to a halt this morning as an important announcement about American President Donald Trump's latest move interrupted the show. Presenters Richard Madeley and Charlotte Hawkins shared that US Vice President JD Vance has said that "there is a good chance" of a UK-US trade deal.

explained that it was reported that the politician had said: "We are working very hard with . The President loves the United Kingdom and loved . He admires and loves . It's a very important relationship, and he is a businessman and has a number of important business relationships with Britain."

"But it goes deeper than that," Richard read. "I think there is a good chance that, yes, we will come to a great agreement that is in the best interests of both countries."

Charlotte then added: "I think the key word there is that he is describing it as a 'great' agreement, a 'great' trade deal, which obviously will be very pleasing for the government as at the moment we're a bit lumped in with everyone else aren't we and the level of tariff."

Wondering out loud about what the "great" deal could be, Richard said: "Well I wonder what it could be? I mean, at the moment, we are all on the 10 percent. So either that will go or maybe he would reduce the 25 percent tariff on British cars going into America, which would make a huge impact. Anyway, we will keep watching and then we will tell you."

The "positive" update comes as Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on imports to the United States several weeks ago, rocking the world economy.

Since then, Mr Trump has rowed back on those tariffs, reducing the rate paid on imports from most countries to 10% and, on Saturday, exempting electronics such as smartphones and laptops from the levy.

Now, in an interview with the website UnHerd, Mr Vance said he was optimistic that both sides could reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Mr Vance said the "reciprocal relationship" between the US and UK gave Britain a more advantageous position than other European countries when it comes to negotiating new trade arrangements, adding: "While we love the Germans, they are heavily dependent on exporting to the United States but are pretty tough on a lot of American businesses that would like to export into Germany."
