The UK’s automotive sector describes itself as “the engine room of Britain’s international trade”, boasting how it generates “£1 in every £8 the UK earns from exporting goods”.

But the UK’s carmakers – including Jaguar and Land Rover owner JLR, the BMW-owned Rolls-Royce and Mini, and Aston Martin – are weighing up the potential impact of Donald Trump’s planned 25% tariffs on cars imported into the US. The new levies on cars and light trucks are due to take effect on 3 April.
