A new trade deal allows British carmakers to export 100,000 vehicles to the US at a lower tariff rate than their North American counterparts. This raises concerns among American automakers who fear it could set a precedent for future trade agreements.
The US and UK have reached a new trade agreement that reduces tariffs on British cars and allows tariff-free imports of some steel and aluminium, but key challenges remain.
President Trump is set to announce new tariffs on automobiles and pharmaceuticals soon, adding to his ongoing trade war strategy that includes steel and aluminum duties. This move signals a broader effort to reshape U.S. trade policies as April 2 approaches.
