Ministers expect the UK’s “privileged trading position with the US” to continue after Donald Trump’s tariffs were struck down by the country’s supreme court.

Mr Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs”, imposed on most of the rest of the world last April under an emergency powers law, were overturned by the US Supreme Court on Friday in a major blow to the president’s economic agenda.
