Global stock markets plummeted overnight, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 falling nearly 8% and US stock market futures indicating further declines, as fears of a trade war escalate following President Trump’s new tariffs.

White House aides expressed mixed signals about Donald Trump’s tariff policies, with some suggesting room for negotiation while others dismissed the prospect.

Sir Keir Starmer announced plans to relax electric vehicle manufacturing rules in response to US tariffs that affect carmakers, particularly Jaguar Land Rover, which will “pause” shipments to the US.

Sir Keir Starmer has said his government stands ready to use industrial policy to “shelter British business from the storm” after Donald Trump’s new 10% tariff kicked in.

Global stock markets experienced significant declines following President Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs, including a 10% tax on imports from the UK.

Donald Trump has moved “Liberation Day” to 2 April to avoid association with April Fool’s Day, prompting global governments to prepare for impending tariff announcements.

Thursday’s headlines are, of course, dominated by yesterday’s news that the US will introduce a baseline 10% tariff on the world, including the UK and other countries, and are facing far higher tariffs, including the EU being hit with a 20% levy. 

The headlines are in general agreement that the UK being hit with the baseline tariff is far less severe than what was expected, and there could be some wiggle room as the tariffs don’t come into effect on Saturday.
