How the UK might respond to Trump’s tariffs as Jaguar Land Rover pauses shipments

  • Jaguar Land Rover has temporarily halted shipments to the US due to the newly imposed 10 per cent tariff on British goods by Donald Trump.
  • UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is engaging in discussions with world leaders to address the tariffs, emphasising a calm and strategic approach guided by national interests.
  • The 10 per cent tariff, along with a 25 per cent tax on imported cars, has negatively impacted global stock markets, including the FTSE 100 and Dow Jones.
  • While the UK government seeks a trade deal with the US to potentially lower or remove the tariffs, they are also considering retaliatory measures.
  • Trump remains firm on the tariffs, believing they will ultimately benefit the US economy through a larger trade deal.
