Your guide to what the second period of Trump means to Washington, business and the world

Jonathan Reynolds, the UK’s business and business secretary, will urge the Donald Trump administration next week to give a deal to reduce taxes on steel exports in the UK to zero, even after the American president pledged to double the global steel tariff to 50 percent.

British officials admit that there is no “clarity” about how Trump’s new tariffs are 50 percent on steel and aluminum imports – to enter into force on Wednesday – in the United Kingdom’s steel sector and 400 million pounds from exports to the United States.

But the expectations do not seem good, as UK officials admit that “the introduction of commercial deals is several months.”

Trump and British Prime Minister Sir Kerr will pass Illegal The Trade Agreement on May 8.

Reynolds It will meet Jamieson Greer, the American Trade Representative, in Paris on the margins of the Economic Cooperation and Development Organization meeting next week in an attempt to avoid “time tables” to implement the so -called economic prosperity deal.

After obtaining the first agreement to trade with the United States since Trump began to impose a high tariff, Starmer praised it as a major coup.

“The solid situation is still unclear,” said one of the British officials.

Gareth Stas, the Director General of the United Kingdom, warned that Trump’s plan to double the steel and aluminum tariffs from 25 percent to 50 percent It was a “body blow.”

He added: “The uncertainty remains about whether it will be in our faces.” And when the second largest export market is open to business or closed firmly in our faces. ”

On May 8, Trump agreed to reduce a 27.5 percent tariff for cars to 10 percent for the first 100,000 vehicles shipped from the United Kingdom, an agreement that Starmer said will provide jobs in car makers including Jaguar Land Rover.

Starmer also said at the time that the United States agreed to reduce the tariffs on steel exports in the United Kingdom and aluminum to scratch, but it was appointed 25 percent at the present time.

In exchange for discounts Trump’s tariffThe UK has given greater access to the United States to the United States, beef, ethanol and industrial products. None of the proposed tariff operations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean were pleased.

The UK government said: “We are working to ensure that companies can benefit from the deal as quickly as possible and will confirm the following steps in time.

“The United States will need to follow the due legal procedures alongside it, and we will work with them closely until this happens as quickly as possible in the coming weeks.

“The economic prosperity deal and any executive legislation will be presented to Parliament in a timely manner.”

Trump’s sectoral definitions were not affected by cars and steel at the American International Trade Court Wednesday’s decision The tariff scheme “Liberation Day” was illegal – a ruling later stopped by the US Federal Appeal Court.

But trade experts warn that the American president will distract his attention from his battle in the courts and is unlikely to focus on a trade deal with Britain.
