In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 10% tariffs on British imports, Britain’s business secretary has announced a consultation with businesses to understand the potential implications of any retaliatory action. The announcement was made on Thursday.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds stated in parliament, "I am today launching a request for input on the implications for British businesses of possible retaliatory action." He emphasized that such a move is a necessary formal step to keep all options open. The consultation aims to gather insights from businesses that could be impacted by potential countermeasures against the U.S. tariffs.
