The announcement offers relief for key UK industries from some of the new tariffs President Donald Trump has announced since his return to the White House in January.
But it will leave a 10% duty in place on most goods from the UK.
Though hailed by the leaders of the two countries as significant, analysts said it did not appear to meaningfully alter the terms of trade between the countries, as they stood before the changes introduced by Trump this year.
No formal deal was signed on Thursday and the announcements from both governments were light on details.
