Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has called for a proactive response from the UK against potential US tariffs on steel and aluminium exports. While the UK government has not clearly stated its response, Davey emphasized the need for strength in negotiations. As tariffs threaten the UK steel industry, particularly suppliers of specialty products, leaders in Europe and Canada are prepared to retaliate. The UK government aims to balance relations with the US while seeking to reset ties with the EU. Industry bodies warn of substantial negative impacts on British exports if tariffs are imposed.
Sir Ed urged, "sitting back and hoping Trump won't hurt us just isn't going to work", advocating for a strong negotiation stance against US tariffs.
UK Steel states the tariffs pose 'huge ramifications' for the sector, emphasizing the threat to British suppliers of specialist products in the US market.
