But there are concerns that the ministers refused to say if the strategy for resolving the threat of American tariffs is.
Calum Miller, Foreign Democracy Spokesman, said: “Despite Trump threats, ministers should be urgent to the coordinated response. British jobs are on line. Companies and workers want to see the government who stands for them, not on the tops of the problem. “
Meanwhile, the leader of the party, Sir Ed Davey called on a summit with four nations of the United Kingdom to enable gradual leaders to deal with the influence of the steel industry.
But David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy project, said that it could be counterproductive that the government reveals the teacher of economic protection in what is converted to the international game of poker.
He said, “A wide public strategy for resolving the situation would be useful, but the details are likely to remain secrets.” He added: “EU harmonization is undoubtedly useful for both Trump relations and the EU.”
Mr. Trump said he planned to impose a 25 percent tariffs on “any steel entering the United States”, adding that aluminum will be subject to additional tasks.
Britain is waiting for details, but the steel industry called on the action to mitigate what could be a “devastating blow.”
The United Kingdom performed 166,433 tons of steel in the US in the US in the US 2023, the last one year for which the figures are available. The United States is the second largest export market industry after the EU, although the government said that it was only 5 percent of the export of steel in the UK in 2023. Years.
Gareth Stace General Manager said, “It is deeply disappointing if President Trump sees the need for targeting in the UK, given our relatively small production quantities in relation to major steel nations.
“Great Britain produces leading steel, supplying American defense products, aeronautical, aeronautical, stainless and other critical sectors, materials that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere.”
Downing Street insisted that Britain and the United States will continue to cooperate in a series of economic issues, supporting jobs “on both sides of the Atlantic.
“I did not see detailed suggestions after reporting overnight, but we will obviously involved as needed,” said the official prime minister spokesman. He added that he would not be drawn to the excuses whether the United Kingdom would refresh him if Mr. Trump continued with tariffs.
The UK industrial industry was affected by Tariffs 2018. During the first term of Lord Trump, but they were mitigated in 2022. years.
In his second term in the White House, Mr. So far, Trump has imposed, but then delayed, duty to import from Mexico and Canada, and also sentenced 10 percent of the royalties to the goods imported from China.
Richard Kilpatrick, the head of the campaign in the European Movement in the UK, called on Britain to move closer to the EU, suggesting that tariffs are a wake-up call.
He said, “Trump tariffs are all unpredictable. Even if the tariffs are not applied directly to the UK, the influence that have an international marketplace has an impact on global prices.
“We need a stable international market. It’s just a matter of time before the tariff is applied directly to the UK. The stronger relationship with our European neighbors is the only way to protect our economy from Trump.”
Trade experts suggested that the Government of Great Britain has a strategy, but in the world poker match, diplomacy does not want to detect details.
Marco Scorito, General Manager of the Export and International Trade Institute, suggested that Mr. Keir must play both sides and try to improve better conditions with American and the EU.
He said, “EU talks are trying to deal with current friction. The trade agreement would be a significant positive difference in tariff problem. It would surely deal with the potential influence of American tariffs and perceived shares for rebalancing trade.
“Challenge [we] And faced other nations are speed and width announcements, which come without much announcement. Although outside the EU means that the United Kingdom is not a top priority, we are exposed to the action that they have taken us against the EU, especially because of northern Ireland and the fact that we could be caught in the tariffs that could be caught in the tariffs that They state on both sides. “
Caroline Ramsay, partner and manager of international trade in the law firm company TLT, warned that the loss of the export market could only be the beginning of the British war in the trade war inspired by trumps.
She said, “Even if the UK is avoiding the equivalent tariffs that was sentenced to the UK may still be able to feel the influence. The UK can become a recipient of the ‘thrown out of the market exposed to American tariffs. That would It could lead to the possibility of saving the cost of the installation chain in the UK. However, we may see the increased competition, prices and lower sales sales producers in the UK. “
