Trump unleashes sweeping tariffs
- Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to “keep a cool head” in the face of the “economic impact” of Donald Trump’s 10 per cent tariffs on UK exports to the US, amid fears of a wider trade war.
- Trump imposed a rate of 20 per cent on the European Union (EU), 24 per cent on Japan and 34 per cent on China, among a wide range of others, in a speech hailing America’s “declaration of economic independence”, pledging to make the US “wealthy again”.
