Shiploads of cars ready to set sail for US from UK as trade deal kicks in
Briefly

The new UK-US trade deal, effective Monday, reduces car import tariffs from a combined rate of 27.5% to 10%, paving the way for UK automobiles, notably Aston Martins, to reach the US market. British farmers have expressed distress, alleging that their interests have been sacrificed to benefit car manufacturers. Despite delays in finalizing the trade agreement, Aston Martin's CEO expects a surge in demand after a significant pause in shipments, coupled with previous tariffication leading to price hikes and inventory shortages in the US market. UPS drivers were reassured about maintaining UK production sites to safeguard local jobs.
The trade deal aims to spur auto industry shipping, reducing tariffs on UK vehicles to 10%, while British farmers raise concerns over being collateral for car exports.
