UK 'working with US' to analyse impact of supreme court's ruling against tariffs

Britain and the EU said they were assessing the implications of the US supreme court ruling against Donald Trump’s global tariffs. A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The UK government is working with the US to understand how the overturning of Donald Trump’s tariffs by the supreme court will affect the UK but expects our privileged trading position with the US to continue.” The UK was the first to strike a tariff deal with the US, with 10% tariffs on all imports from Britain, compared with a blanket 15% rate for the EU, while 50% tariffs are still imposed on steel.

The EU said it was analysing the ruling and remained in close contact with the US administration as it sought clarity on next steps. “Businesses on both sides of the Atlantic depend on stability and predictability in the trading relationship. We therefore continue to advocate for low tariffs and to work towards reducing them,” the statement added.
