Tariff man' Trump puts Britain in firing line of new global trade war
Briefly

New Jersey governor Phil Murphy expressed concern over US-UK trade relations following Trump's election, highlighting the shift from trade promotion to damage control amidst potential tariff threats.
Murphy stated, 'We planned this trip knowing we were coming right in after the election and knowing it was a possibility that President Trump could win.' He emphasized the importance of maintaining strong sub-national relations despite looming challenges.
Experts predict that under Trump's presidency, Britain, especially given its existing ties with the EU, may face difficult trade negotiations as the US pushes for aggressive tariffs.
Following Trump's election, industry leaders fear that the UK could become a target in a broader global trade war, especially with the US's shift towards a more protectionist stance.
