Listeners, welcome to United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker, your go-to source for the latest updates on trade and tariffs. Today, we’re focusing on the ongoing impacts of U.S. trade policy under President Trump and its specific effects on the United Kingdom.

President Trump has doubled down on his “America First” trade policy, introducing sweeping tariffs that directly impact the global economy, including the UK. As of April 5, 2025, all imports into the United States face a baseline 10% tariff. This broad measure was followed by reciprocal tariffs targeting specific countries based on U.S. trade deficits. For the UK, this means a 10% additional tariff is now imposed on exports to the U.S., which has triggered concerns across industries, particularly for sectors like automotive manufacturing and food exports.

In addition to the baseline tariff, some products face steeper levies. Automobiles, in particular, are hit hard, with a 25% tariff applied to all cars imported into the U.S., a move that is expected to significantly affect UK-based manufacturers dependent on the American market. These measures are part of a strategy designed to penalize countries that the Trump administration deems trade offenders, with the UK categorized among them.

The UK government has reacted cautiously. Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds emphasized the importance of ongoing negotiations with the U.S. to mitigate these tariffs' impact. While the government seeks a deal to strengthen bilateral trade, Reynolds signaled that all options remain on the table to protect UK interests, adding that the UK would not hesitate to act if necessary. However, the Trump administration has shown little inclination for compromise, maintaining that these tariffs will remain until the U.S. perceives its trade deficits to be resolved.

Economists warn that the long-term implications of these tariffs could be significant for the UK. Higher tariffs may dampen export competitiveness and put additional pressure on industries already grappling with post-Brexit market adjustments. Among other challenges, the increased cost of exports could reduce demand in the U.S., further straining UK businesses reliant on American consumers.

All of this comes at a time when global trade tensions are escalating. China, for instance, retaliated earlier this week with a 34% tariff on U.S. goods, signaling the potential for further disruptions in international trade.
