Listeners, welcome to United Kingdom Tariff News and Tracker. On November 2nd, 2025, the global landscape of tariffs remains front-page news, especially given recent actions from the Trump administration and their ripple effects on U.S.–UK trade.
President Trump, in his second term, has made tariffs a signature instrument of his economic and foreign policy. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, major tariff actions have been taking place throughout 2025, including new import taxes of up to 50 percent on steel for many partners. There is a key development for the United Kingdom: as of June 4th, 2025, Trump raised tariffs on all steel imports to 50 percent—specifically excluding the UK from this penalty. This exemption for British steel stands out amid a series of widespread increases targeting other allies and rivals.
Multiple headlines this year have underscored how the Trump administration’s aggressive tariff agenda has disrupted longstanding trading relationships. As reported by CNN and Boston 25 News, Trump’s tariffs have been challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, which is currently weighing whether the president has exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. Businesses have already paid nearly $90 billion in tariffs covered by these challenged rules, and a pending court decision could reshape U.S. trade practices across the board. If the Supreme Court rules against Trump, there could be an avalanche of refund requests from affected businesses and significant pressure on the administration to renegotiate existing deals.
Despite the tumult, the United Kingdom and the United States have made efforts to deepen their trade ties. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a trade deal in mid-June 2025, easing auto and aerospace tariffs. This comes as British officials have been pressing for closer Western cooperation on trade policy, including proposals to form a steel alliance with the EU to counter China’s growing influence in global supply chains, as Politico has reported.
Currently, the UK is still subject to a 25 percent tariff on most goods and a 10 percent tariff on energy exports to the U.S., a measure introduced in February and linked to immigration policy disputes, notes AOL.
This year has been marked by constant unpredictability, with tariff rates and duties shifted regularly as Trump recalibrates his America First agenda. Whether these broad and sweeping tariffs will survive legal scrutiny is an open question, but the United Kingdom’s partial relief from the harshest measures is a noteworthy exception in a season of trade tension.
