With Donald Trump's new tariff policy, the United Kingdom (UK) will be subject to a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, raising UK exporters' costs, but lower than the EU's 20% tariff, possibly providing a relative benefit. The government of the UK is intent on striking a trade deal with the U.S. to counterbalance the impact of the tariffs, as Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds stressed the need to steer clear of a trade war while reserving all possibilities to safeguard UK interests.
