UK disappointed at US tariffs, Business Secretary says
The UK Business Secretary has described Donald Trump’s decision to impose global tariffs on steel and aluminium as 'disappointing' and said 'all options' are on the table to respond in the national interest. Britain has resisted taking immediate retaliatory action against the move, while the European Union has already announced it will introduce counter-measures on American goods. The tariffs came into effect at midnight in the US, around 4am GMT, and raise a flat duty on steel and aluminium entering America to 25%.
