The recent trade agreement between the US and UK, while not as grand as anticipated, presents notable benefits for specific sectors. The reduction of a 27.5% tariff on car exports and the complete removal of steel and aluminium tariffs will favor the UK automotive industry. In return, the UK slightly opens its market to US agricultural goods and maintains a 10% tariff on all exports. This agreement appears to meet the UK's key objectives without drastic concessions, yet the lingering tariffs indicate ongoing trade challenges.
Though the agreement fell short of expectations, reducing the 27.5% tariff on 100,000 car exports and eliminating steel and aluminum tariffs is significant for the UK.
The US has reassured with the UK's acquisition of Scunthorpe steelworks from Chinese ownership, marking a pivotal change in the British industrial strategy.
