Trump snubs Starmer
Donald Trump has sensationally snubbed Sir Keir Starmer's last-ditch effort to exempt Britain from new US tariffs, Trending In The News can exclusively reveal. The UK PM had urged the US President to visit in June to sign a trade deal that would bypass export taxes but was rejected on Sunday.
No resolution reached
The weekend call between the two leaders ended without a clear resolution, with Trump promising only to review the details of the proposed economic pact. Despite Starmer's attempts to persuade Trump to spare British firms from the economic impact, the plea was not successful.
Uncertainty looms
With the White House set to announce import taxes this week, it is unlikely that Britain will be exempt in time. Talks are expected to continue beyond the tariff implementation, with potential taxes on UK products looming, including a 20% tax in response to VAT rates on American imports.
Trade deal discussions ongoing
Downing Street confirmed that trade negotiations between the UK and the US are ongoing, but no specific time frame has been set for reaching an agreement on an economic prosperity deal. Trump's decision to introduce a 25% import tax on all cars imported to the US has raised concerns for British high-end car production.
