US Tariff Shake-Up Threatens UK Trade: Trump's New Rates Set to Reshape Transatlantic Economic Landscape in 2025

President Donald Trump’s administration has unleashed a historic wave of new tariffs. Since July 7, 2025, the US sent formal letters announcing updated tariff rates to trading partners, including the United Kingdom. These are not negotiated settlements—as the White House has called them “deals”—but rather, predetermined rates unilaterally set by the US, scheduled to take effect August 1.
Economic analysts say these measures will raise the US’s effective tariff rate to nearly 19.7%, which marks the steepest level since 1933. Critically, the United Kingdom is at the center of one of four so-called completed arrangements under Trump’s strategy, alongside China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. For the UK, this translates to significant changes in what goods are taxed and at what rates.
Earlier this year, in June, Trump signed an executive order to implement commitments under the United States-United Kingdom Economic Prosperity Deal. This agreement provides billions of dollars in new market access for American exports into the UK, with particular boosts for US beef, ethanol, and agricultural products. The deal isn’t a full free trade agreement, but it marks a major expansion of US access to the British market and includes targeted tariff cuts and pledges of supply chain security. The United States Trade Representative estimates a $5 billion opportunity in new US exports to Britain through this new framework, including sector-specific tariff reductions.
On the flip side, UK goods bound for American consumers are facing a complex landscape. While US plastics exports to the UK have climbed by over 4% in the first five months of 2025, imports of UK plastics have dropped by more than 12%. Notably, automotive-related tariffs remain in the spotlight; Trump introduced a sweeping 25% tariff rate for all automotive imports earlier this year, a sector that directly impacts major UK manufacturers.
Listeners should be aware that despite these announced “arrangements”, there remains significant market and political uncertainty. Trump recently confirmed that the suspension of these tariffs, previously delayed to August 1, will not be extended. Without fresh agreements before that date, higher tariffs are set to go live for both UK and EU exporters.
With both economies watching closely, tension remains high. The US is pushing for leverage at the negotiating table, while UK leaders are weighing the impact on British exporters and supply chains. With markets volatile, the coming days are crucial for anyone tracking transatlantic trade flows.
