Britain expects privileged' trade with US to continue despite fresh tariffs ruling

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."

"Ministers expect Britain's privileged trading position with the US to continue after Donald Trump's tariffs were struck down by the country's supreme court. The US Supreme Court overturned Mr Trump's reciprocal tariffs, which were imposed on most of the world last April under an emergency powers law. The ruling, which came on Friday, is a major blow to the president's economic agenda."

The Independent funds on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, producing documentaries like 'The A Word' and investigating political funding such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The outlet offers reporting without paywalls and solicits donations to send journalists to report from both sides. The US Supreme Court overturned President Trump's reciprocal tariffs imposed under emergency powers, nullifying tariffs applied last April. The ruling challenges the status of bilateral tariff carve-outs that benefited the UK, including lower rates on steel, cars and pharmaceuticals. UK ministers expect the country's privileged trading position with the US to continue despite legal uncertainty.
