The US president has announced a 25% import tax will be introduced on all cars imported to the US, a measure expected to hit British luxury car makers such as Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin.
The levy is on top of a series of tariffs set to come into effect on April 2, which could include a general 20% tax on UK products in response to the rate of VAT.
Sir Keir Starmer’s official spokesman said on Monday: “When it comes to tariffs the Prime Minister has been clear he will always act in the national interest and we’ve been actively preparing for all eventualities ahead of the expected announcements from President Trump this week, which we would expect the UK to be impacted by alongside other countries.
“But we will only do a deal which reflects this Government’s mandate to deliver economic stability for the British people, and we will only act in the national interest.”
Asked whether the Government had given up hope of a deal being signed before Wednesday, the spokesman said he is “not going to put a time frx on those discussions” but that they are “l(fā)ikely to continue beyond Wednesday”.
According to a Downing Street read out of the call, the two leaders agreed that “talks will continue at pace this week”.
根據(jù)唐寧街宣讀的通話內(nèi)容,兩位領(lǐng)導人同意“本周將繼續(xù)談判”。

Mr Trump has branded April 2 “Liberation Day” for the US, as he claimed the tariffs he plans to introduce will free the US from foreign goods and boost its domestic economy.
The new taxes could make or break the Government’s plans to grow the economy, and they come into force just after Rachel Reeves made a series of cuts at the spring statement in order to restore a narrow buffer in the public spending headroom.
Asked whether the Government would be considering another budget in the event of being hit by tariffs, the spokesman said: The UK will “reserve the right” to respond to tariffs “in a way that does protect British industry”, Downing Street has said.
Asked whether the Government would be considering another budget if the UK is hit by tariffs from Donald Trump, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We’ll obviously always take an approach that suits the British economy.
Sir Ed said: “Ministers have rightly tried to avoid Donald Trump imposing his destructive tariffs on British businesses – but as we knew all along, Trump doesn’t care.
“Just asking nicely clearly doesn’t work with Trump, so we have to stand tall with our allies in Canada and Europe and show that we will not be bullied. That means being prepared to impose reciprocal tariffs if necessary, including on Elon Musk’s Teslas, and urgently negotiating a better trade deal with the EU to show Trump we have alternatives.”

The UK needs to sort out its own payment and credit card systems asap. Every single online payment has a tax on it that goes to the Americans. This would be far more damaging than simply boycotting businesses they can shuffle about and cook the books with.

Yes, but I think this would be better done in partnership with other countries, EU, Canada, Japan, as many as possible, because it will attract a reaction, and there is perhaps more safety in numbers.

You already have tarrifs placed on the US for a long while now.

Yes every country in the world has tariffs placed on products from countries it’s not in an FTA with. Trump tariffs are a) far higher across the board, the average tariff is about 3% these are generally 25% b) also placed on products that every other nation on earth follows international agreements like the UN technology agreement to make 0% tariff globally.
It’s not remotely equivalent.
Minimum-Geologist-58
It’s entirely true. Yes some things like automobiles, steel and baseball gloves in the USA (genuinely) are very heavily tariffed, a lot of HS codes are zero globally or 1-3%. It averages out at about 3% on total value of imports globally I seem to recall. Tariffs on nearly about 99.9% of Chinese goods in the USA are currently at least 27.5%. On “Independence day” it looks like that will be pretty much the same for a lot of countries. It’s a huge escalation of tariffs.

Brexit was a stupid short sighted idea anyway. Lets cut our loses and get back in, with whatever penalties we deserve. America is not something I think any of us want to rely on in any way, shape or form. Europe as a whole need to band together and strengthen our defenses. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, legalising and taxing recreational cannabis would generate billions for any country or city smart enough to implement it. This has been shown in every example of people doing it, look at California, Colorada, Netherlands, Thailand, Barcelona. There's no examples of this being a bad thing to happen to a city, and the money can be split between the NHS and military defenses while at the same time generating thousands of jobs and freeing up police time and spending. It's a no brainer. Cannabis culture is huge in the UK more than most would like to admit, and all that money is going to "criminals". Time to get with the times and make smart choices, stop trying to impose more control on a society that is only going to push back against it. We'd love to fight for a country we believe in, start there.

Trumps proposals are the biggest threat to world peace in the last 60 years. Greenland, Panama, Mexico, Canada and multiple other ridiculous plans. EU and the UN need to make it clear that this is not acceptable. Russian aggression is not going to be tolerated and US is in no position to mandate or negotiate a solution. US you do not govern the world.

And because we have zero econimic legroom, we can't even battle this bully at his own game. Anyway all the more reason to get closer to Europe and the EU.

why does the UK have a 10% tariff on US cars if tariffs are so bad?
I’m not boycotting anything I think boycotts are stupid I’m going to buy whatever is cheap and avoid anything that isn’t don’t care where it comes from

Most tariffs are reciprocal and are agreed in trade deals to protect domestic production. Here's a good example of a tariff that worked.
The US' dairy industry is designed in a way that means the final product in supermarkets is cheap, so the population can buy it freely, and farmers are subsidised by the government to make their money. In Canada, it's the inverse, and dairy farms aren't subsided, so dairy products are more expensive in the supermarkets. If Canada didn't have tariffs on American dairy, then US manufacturers would be able to undercut the market, and a huge source of industry in Canada would fail and require bailouts. Dairy imported to Canada from the US is tariffed to bring prices in line with the typical market.
Likewise for why we impose tariffs on US imported cars. Our manufacturing capabilities don't match the US, so we impose tariffs on these products so companies like Jaguar Land Rover don't go bump. BYD cars from China are tariffed to the eyeballs so billions of pounds of R&D from UK car manufacturers isn't completely wasted.
Tariffs on their own aren't necessarily a terrible thing. Trump's tariffs are because he doesn't seem to understand how they work or why they exist. He's going to cause a global recession placing tariffs on countries he takes personal issue with.

是的,世界上每個國家都對來自非自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定國家的產(chǎn)品征收關(guān)稅。特朗普的關(guān)稅:1、全面地高得多,平均關(guān)稅約為3%,這些新增關(guān)稅通常為25%;2、也對地球上所有其他國家都遵循聯(lián)合國技術(shù)協(xié)議等國際協(xié)議征收0關(guān)稅的產(chǎn)品征收關(guān)稅。
這一點也不對等。
Thats not true even canada has tariffs on the US for 225%+ on certain things. Why is it fair for other countries to tarrif except for the US?
這不是真的,甚至加拿大都對美國的某些商品征收225%以上的關(guān)稅。憑什么其他國家征收關(guān)稅是公平的,美國就不行?

這完全是真的。是的,像汽車、鋼鐵和棒球手套這樣的東西在美國(真的)被征收了很高的關(guān)稅,很多編碼商品在全球范圍內(nèi)是零關(guān)稅或1-3%的關(guān)稅。我記得它平均占全球進口總值的3%左右。目前,美國對近99.9%的中國商品征收的關(guān)稅至少為27.5%。在“獨立日”,看起來很多國家的情況都差不多。這是關(guān)稅的大幅升級。

大多數(shù)關(guān)稅都是互惠的,是在貿(mào)易協(xié)議中達成的,以保護國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)。這里有一個很好的例子,說明關(guān)稅是有效的。
美國乳制品行業(yè)的設計方式意味著,超市里的最終產(chǎn)品很便宜,因此人們可以自由購買,而農(nóng)民則得到政府的補貼來賺錢。在加拿大,情況正好相反,奶牛場并沒有補貼,所以超市里的乳制品更貴。如果加拿大沒有對美國乳制品征收關(guān)稅,那么美國制造商將能夠削弱市場,加拿大的一個巨大產(chǎn)業(yè)來源將失敗并需要救助。所以加拿大對從美國進口的奶制品征收關(guān)稅,以使價格與典型的市場價格保持一致。
同樣,為什么我們對美國進口汽車征收關(guān)稅。因為我們的制造能力比不上美國,所以我們對這些產(chǎn)品征收關(guān)稅,這樣捷豹路虎這樣的公司就不會受到?jīng)_擊。來自中國的比亞迪汽車被征收高額關(guān)稅,因此英國汽車制造商數(shù)十億英鎊的研發(fā)資金不會完全浪費。
關(guān)稅本身不一定是一件可怕的事情。特朗普的關(guān)稅是因為他似乎不明白它們是如何運作的,也不明白它們?yōu)槭裁创嬖?。他要對他個人有意見的國家征收關(guān)稅,造成全球經(jīng)濟衰退。
