The UK Government has struck a deal with authorities in America to partially end the tariffs on British steel and aluminium imposed by former president Donald Trump.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) said the US had announced an “expansive removal” of section 232 tariffs, which have affected a number of UK metals exporters. The changes are expected to take effect on June 1.
In response the UK will suspend rebalancing measures on US products including whiskey, blue jeans and motorcycles, officials said.
