 Listeners, today’s news cycle offers significant updates for all tracking United Kingdom tariff developments, particularly as they relate to the United States and former President Trump. According to the latest Allianz Trade analysis, US tariffs have been on the rise through 2025. The average US tariff rate hit 10 percent in July with projections that it could reach about 14 percent by September. This increase is driven by ongoing trade conflicts and shifting global supply chains. With more products under investigation, higher tariffs could be adopted before year’s end.

For UK stakeholders, Trump’s administration continues to play a pivotal role in the tariffs landscape. Earlier in the year, in May, the US and the United Kingdom concluded an initial trade agreement highlighted by Scripps News. That deal gave UK exporters relief on some US auto tariffs but left steel and aluminum tariffs open for further negotiation. President Trump has publicly said he’s willing to continue discussions with the UK to refine the agreement—he described the deal as “great,” but also stated he’s “into helping” the UK secure more favorable terms. UK Prime Minister Starmer is expected to press Trump for adjustments, especially as issues of steel and aluminum linger, and additional tariff changes remain possible.

Insidetrade.com reports that President Trump is actively weighing new British proposals to alter the US-UK tariff arrangement struck in May. These possible changes come ahead of Trump’s latest visit to London and highlight the fluid nature of the tariff environment. The ball is now in play for further negotiations potentially leading to revised and perhaps more targeted relief for UK exporters, although it’s clear the US is using its leverage on tariffs as part of a broader economic and diplomatic strategy.

Meanwhile, industry experts at Allianz Trade assert that the uncertainty surrounding tariffs is leading companies worldwide to reroute supply chains and adapt sourcing. Allianz notes that US imports from China fell sharply, dropping from 14 percent of total US imports in 2024 to just 9 percent in July 2025, while imports from Southeast Asia, India, and Taiwan rose significantly. This shifting trade landscape directly impacts British exporters, who may find both opportunity and risk as US trade policy evolves.

Listeners, the key takeaway is that the UK’s access to the US market remains in flux as tariffs are renegotiated under Trump’s watch, with auto, steel, and aluminum sectors in focus. Watch for further movement on both sides in the coming weeks. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
