British trade negotiators are in Washington to accelerate discussions on a trade agreement with the US before the UK-EU summit on May 19. Despite setbacks from recent US tariffs on the film industry announced by President Trump, UK officials are pursuing tariff relief in a few sectors. A recent draft deal proposed reduced tariffs on British steel, aluminum, and cars in exchange for lower digital service tax rates for US tech firms. The UK hopes to resolve outstanding issues on pharmaceuticals and film tariffs hindered by US policy changes.
UK officials aim to secure tariff relief on selected sectors, targeting a quick trade deal with the US before the UK-EU summit later this month.
Despite chaotic negotiations and Trump's shifting priorities, British trade officials continue to engage with US counterparts, seeking clarity on pharmaceuticals and film tariffs.
