UK trade secretary to seek exemption from US steel and aluminium tariffs
Briefly

UK's trade secretary Jonathan Reynolds is poised to meet with his US counterpart, Jamieson Greer, to establish a timeline for removing US tariffs on UK steel and aluminum. This comes after Trump's announcement to double tariffs from 25% to 50%. The UK government remains committed to protecting its steel sector and jobs, pushing for a swift implementation of a recent trade deal. British officials believe the deal could be finalized within weeks, despite challenges presented by the rising tariffs and a recent court ruling regarding foreign import tariffs, which Trump seeks to maintain.
