概要

 Welcome, listeners, to this episode of United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker. As tensions rise in global trade, all eyes are on the latest developments between the United States and the United Kingdom under President Trump's renewed push for protectionist policies. According to Bloomberg, Trump announced on April 28, 2026, a proposed 10% baseline tariff on all UK imports to the US, aiming to address what he calls "unfair trade imbalances" in sectors like automobiles and pharmaceuticals. This follows his executive order last month imposing 25% duties on European steel and aluminum, with the UK explicitly exempted initially but now facing targeted hikes. The White House press briefing cited US Trade Representative data showing a $20 billion US trade deficit with the UK in 2025, fueling the rhetoric of "America First." Reuters reports that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded sharply yesterday, warning of retaliatory measures including 15% tariffs on US whiskey, tech exports, and agricultural goods. The British government estimates these US tariffs could cost UK exporters up to £8 billion annually, hitting giants like Jaguar Land Rover and AstraZeneca hardest. Financial Times headlines scream "Trade War 2.0: Trump Targets UK Post-Brexit," noting stalled US-UK free trade talks since 2025. BBC News highlights industry fallout: The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders predicts 12,000 job losses in the UK auto sector if tariffs stick. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs analysts forecast a 0.4% drag on UK GDP growth this year, urging swift negotiations. On a brighter note, The Guardian mentions exploratory talks scheduled for next week in London, where both sides might explore exemptions for green energy tech amid shared climate goals. But with Trump's midterm election strategy leaning hard on tariffs, compromise looks slim. Stay tuned as we track these shifts—volatility in the pound sterling has already spiked 2% against the dollar this week per MarketWatch.
