Donald Trump’s tariffs could cost at least 25,000 jobs in UK
More than 25,000 jobs in Britain’s car industry could be lost after Donald Trump’s dramatic escalation of his global trade war.
A report warned of an “extreme” hit to UK car plants, putting around one in five manufacturing jobs in the sector at risk.
The automotive industry is among those set to be left reeling as President Trump prepares to unveil details of his “Liberation Day” wave of tariffs on scores of US imports.
The President has already confirmed an additional 25% levy on all car imports, with no special deal for the UK despite ongoing talks and our so-called long-lasting ‘special relationship.’
