  • Trump Tariffs Threaten UK Economy: Steep Trade Barriers Spark Uncertainty and Potential Job Losses in British Industries
    2025/07/21
    Listeners, today’s top story is the mounting economic pressure on the United Kingdom as the Trump administration’s latest tariff policies send shockwaves through international markets. Since July 7, 2025, the United States formally notified key trading partners, including the UK, about updated tariff rates. This move is reshaping the transatlantic economic landscape, adding new layers of uncertainty for British exporters and industries. The administration has set an August 1 deadline before foreign nations—including the UK—could face even higher tariffs if further trade concessions aren’t agreed, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick calling the next two weeks "ones for the record books" as additional deals are negotiated. These developments follow the expiration of a 90-day pause on new tariffs earlier this month, and according to Fox News, President Trump will soon visit London to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer to further refine the evolving U.S.-UK trade deal.

    Under the current deal, UK steel and aluminum exports face a 25% tariff cap and automotive exports a 10% tariff, with sector-specific exemptions like a 100,000-car annual quota. However, these benefits remain dependent on the U.S. resolving ongoing legal challenges and finalizing the full Economic Prosperity Deal. Over-quota UK automotives could still face tariffs as high as 27.5 percent, directly impacting pricing and profit margins for manufacturers. The British Chambers of Commerce forecasts UK GDP growth at just 1.1% for 2025, reflecting a subdued outlook shaped by these escalating trade restrictions.

    The impact extends well beyond trade. According to The Telegraph, the Trump tariffs are pushing up the UK's borrowing costs, with 10-year government bond yields rising to 4.2 percent. This makes it more expensive for the British government to service its national debt and raises the stakes for public finances. Currency markets are also on edge: the pound remains volatile, with the GBP/USD exchange rate fluctuating between 1.25 and 1.35 this year. While some of the worst effects of U.S. tariffs have been tempered by preferential terms for the UK under the new deal, exposure to EU spillover risk persists—especially as the administration threatens 30% tariffs on EU goods unless a separate agreement is struck.

    The ripple effects are real for British industries. For instance, a leading UK bioethanol plant has warned it is at risk of layoffs and possible closure now that previous protective tariffs have been replaced by Trump’s new approach. Without UK government assistance, executives say jobs are on the line.

    Listeners, as headlines continue to roll in and further details of the U.S.-UK trade deal unfold ahead of Trump’s September state visit, stay tuned for the latest twists and impacts right here.

  • US Tariff Shake-Up Threatens UK Trade: Trump's New Rates Set to Reshape Transatlantic Economic Landscape in 2025
    2025/07/20
    Listeners, today on United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker, we're unpacking major developments shaking up transatlantic trade just days before new policies hit the global market.

    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.

  • US Imposes Massive 30 Percent Tariffs on EU Imports Threatening Global Trade Stability and UK Economic Interests
    2025/07/16
    Listeners, today’s top story centers around a major escalation in transatlantic trade tensions. On July 12th, President Trump announced the imposition of a 30 percent tariff on all goods imported from the European Union, with these tariffs set to take effect on August 1st, 2025. This sweeping measure is intended to address the U.S. administration’s longstanding concerns around the EU’s trade surplus with America and what it sees as unfair barriers to U.S. products entering European markets. The policy will affect all EU-origin goods, regardless of sector, and includes provisions that target any products routed through third countries in an attempt to circumvent the tariff. President Trump is encouraging companies to manufacture inside the United States to sidestep these new costs, even offering prospects for expedited regulatory approvals to lure overseas investment. If the EU counters with retaliatory measures, the Trump administration has warned of automatic tariff increases.

    For the United Kingdom specifically, it’s a finely balanced moment. The British Chambers of Commerce reports that the current reciprocal tariff rate slapped on most UK goods headed for the U.S. stands at 10 percent, a figure that’s far less severe than the looming 30 percent on some EU exports. However, unless a new negotiated trade deal with Washington is achieved by the end of July, the U.S. has signaled it could raise tariffs on certain British goods up to 50 percent. This escalation would affect sectors from automotive to agriculture and hit UK manufacturers and exporters hard. The Telegraph notes, with a touch of irony, widespread frustration among British businesses facing what’s been described as a "truly dreadful trade deal," as U.S. tariffs impose a new 10 percent burden on British exports at a time when stability is needed most.

    This instability has forced UK firms into a state of uncertainty, with many weighing contingency strategies such as establishing production inside the United States or seeking new trading allies, notably as the European Union is exploring closer links with the Asia-Pacific’s CPTPP bloc to counteract U.S. unilateralism. U.S. tariff threats have become a global tactic for leverage, and the UK is caught in the crossfire, bracing for higher costs and tighter margins until policymakers can secure clear terms.
