| Subject: Britain blasts 'deeply disappointing' decision by Donald Trump to impose 25% tariffs on UK and European steel from tomorrow Thu May 31, 2018 5:42 pm | |
| The Government today branded Donald Trump's decision to impose steep new steel tariffs 'deeply disappointing'.
British steel sent to America will be slapped with a 25 per cent premium from tomorrow after the White House refused to extend a waiver to EU countries.
Last ditch talks between US and European officials in Paris failed today in moves that could trigger a trans-Atlantic trade war.
The EU immediately signalled it would launch retaliatory measures and lodge a protest at the World Trade Organisation.
They could hit back by slapping tariffs on US orange juice, peanut butter and other goods in return.
