The UK government is actively consulting businesses and drawing up a comprehensive list of thousands of US goods that could face retaliatory tariffs in response to recent tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. While UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged for a strong response to protect British interests, he has also emphasized the need for careful negotiation to avoid a trade war. The tariffs, which include a 10% levy on selected goods, have raised concerns about their impact on multiple sectors, including the whisky and automotive industries. Economists warn that ongoing tensions and potential tariffs could lead to significant repercussions for the UK economy and broader international trade. Amid these developments, the UK seeks to balance its position while hoping for fruitful trade negotiations with the US.
