Listeners, welcome to United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker. Today is Monday, July 28, 2025, and we have major headlines that directly impact UK trade, transatlantic commerce, and tariff policy.President Donald Trump met with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his visit to Scotland, where discussions centered on US-UK trade and the future of existing tariffs. This follows Trump’s successful negotiation of a significant trade agreement with the European Union, a deal that introduced a new 15% tariff rate for the EU's 27 member countries on most imports, including vehicles. The outcome was hailed by both Trump and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as a stabilizing move, staving off a threatened blanket 30% US tariff on all EU imports, a warning that still stands for countries without a new agreement in place, such as Mexico, Canada, and China, with an August 1 deadline, according to CBS News.For listeners focused on the United Kingdom, Politico Europe reports that Trump has signaled the US will “look at” instituting a blanket 10% tariff on UK goods. The current framework, established in a deal finalized last month, aims to keep tariffs on British steel and other key UK exports under review. Keir Starmer is pushing for the US to honor its commitment to reduce those rates further. The British government is particularly focused on resolving tariffs that have hurt industries like steel, aluminum, and automotive components, issues that have persisted through multiple waves of US trade policy changes under Trump’s new term.Negotiations remain intense, as the US has made it clear—there are no more extensions or grace periods after the August 1 deadline for reaching trade deals. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that, saying tariffs will be set and collected without exception starting August 1.Meanwhile, with the EU deal now in place, cross-Channel businesses are assessing the future for UK companies caught between American and European regulatory shifts. The details are still evolving, but for now, UK exporters face a likely 10% US tariff on many goods, unless further reductions can be secured in the ongoing talks.With this uncertainty swirling around steel and key sectors, the British government’s next moves in Washington will be closely watched by industry and policymakers alike. As always, we’ll continue to track every development and update you on the rates, headlines, and behind-the-scenes negotiations shaping the UK’s global trade future.Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe to United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker.
