Brits Slash Car Tariffs to Woo Uncle Sam (Again)
Trump, Tariffs & Testosterone Beef: The Trade Deal Tango Begins!
Chancellor Rachel Reeves just dangled a juicy carrot in front of the Trump camp: “Hey Don, how about we drop UK car tariffs from 10% to 2.5%—you drop your 25% wall on our exports, and we both walk away smiling?”
That’s the play. Why? Because Trump-era tariffs are still walloping UK goods like steel, aluminium, and good old British motors. Reeves wants that to change—without selling out UK farmers to a flood of hormone-happy beef. Fair enough.
Talks are happening. Both sides are grinning. US VP JD Vance says there's a "good chance" of a deal. Translation: They’re circling each other like boxers in round one, but nobody’s thrown a chair—yet.
Reeves is also reminding folks that the UK doesn’t run a trade surplus with the US, so we’re not Public Enemy #1 in Trump’s trade crusade. For once, not being the biggest kid on the playground is working in our favour.
Meanwhile, both nations are quietly sharpening their trade tools. Why? To keep Chinese e-commerce giants like Shein and Temu from shipping £3 dresses across the globe without playing by the rules. It's about time.
And yes, the UK's Trade Remedies Authority is finally getting more teeth. Not quite Godzilla yet—but we’ll take fangs over gums.
