The British steel and aluminium industries are braced for the impact of the US President’s tariffs, which came in overnight.
The British steel and aluminium industries are bracing for damage as US President Trump's tariffs on imports come into effect, a move described as "hugely disappointing" and poorly timed. The UK government is unlikely to immediately retaliate, prioritizing a "cool-headed approach" while the EU plans counter tariffs. The industries warn of increased uncertainty and potential for a trade war, with the UK aluminium sector already seeing impacts.
