 Listeners, here are the latest developments for United Kingdom tariff news as of September 8th, 2025. The US-UK trade climate remains turbulent under President Trump’s second administration, with tariffs and negotiations dominating headlines. The most impactful news for UK exporters is that the United States continues to apply a 25% tariff on UK steel and derivative steel products, a rate kept steady while most other partners are facing 50% tariffs. This special status for the UK reflects ongoing negotiations following the Economic Prosperity Deal that the two countries announced in May 2025, although many details of this deal remain unsettled according to reporting from the Trade Compliance Resource Hub and analysis by Bain & Company.

Listeners should note that an exemption is in place for certain UK aerospace products under the WTO Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft. This exemption, effective since June 23rd, 2025, is providing some relief for UK manufacturers in the aviation sector. However, the wider British export community still faces considerable barriers when accessing the US market—especially where steel, aluminum, and household appliances are concerned, given ongoing or expanded tariffs in those categories.

There’s been growing anxiety in the wider business community. Bain & Company's Transatlantic Confidence Index highlights that overall confidence in the US-UK business corridor has slid to its lowest reading since the survey began. US businesses are showing less enthusiasm for expansion into the UK, citing ongoing uncertainty over tariffs, higher operating costs, and concerns about the narrow scope of the latest trade deal.

Despite this, there are still some positive signals. The new Labour government in the UK is credited with improving perceptions of political stability, with transatlantic investors hopeful that this stability will enable overdue reforms and possibly pave the way for a deeper economic relationship with the US in the future. That said, businesses on both sides remain cautious, looking for concrete action beyond headline announcements.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has threatened baseline tariff rates in the 15% to 20% range for many imports, with even higher rates for certain countries and products. For UK-origin goods outside the steel and aerospace carveouts, most are subject to this baseline reciprocal tariff. Policy uncertainty is causing some US firms to delay hiring or investment. According to analysts cited by the World Socialist Web Site and the Financial Times, these tariffs have contributed to a marked slowdown in manufacturing and job creation, with some industries comparing today’s environment to the depths of the 2008-09 recession.
