The UK will not be “jumping into a trade war” with the US over Donald Trump’s plans to place 25% import taxes on cars entering America, the prime minister has said. The government is trying to avoid tariffs, set to come into effect on 2 April, through “intense negotiations” with US counterparts. The PM’s comments come amid concerns tariffs could upend global motor trade and supply chains, with one of the biggest UK-based exporters to the US, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), in line to be the one of the manufacturers most affected.
