Trump’s tariffs on steel have provoked panic that his administration could soon go after other products
Starmer urged to spell out plan to fight Trump’s tariff trade war
Labour has insisted it has a plan to deal with Donald Trump’s tariffs, as the latest threat to British steel production prompts demands for Sir Keir Starmer to set out his strategy.
The US president on Monday announced a worldwide 25 per cent tariff on steel, triggering panic over the future of Britain’s fragile industry and raising fears that more trade fees could deepen problems for the UK economy, which is already teetering on the brink of a recession.
As well as hitting UK exports to the US, a global trade war could see an influx of cheaper imports that would put British suppliers out of business.
