Government response THE UK'S RESPONSE TO GLOBAL TARIFFS ON STEEL AND ALUMINIUM The Business Secretary responds to the US imposing global tariffs on steel and aluminium from today
(Wednesday 12 March). BUSINESS AND TRADE SECRETARY JONATHAN REYNOLDS SAID: “It’s disappointing the US has today imposed global tariffs on steel and aluminium. “We are focused on a pragmatic
approach and are rapidly negotiating a wider economic agreement with the US to eliminate additional tariffs and to benefit UK businesses and our economy. “Meanwhile we remain resolute in our
support for UK industry. This Government is working with affected companies today, and I back industry’s application to the Trade Remedies Authority to investigate what further steps might
be necessary to protect UK producers. “I will continue to engage closely and productively with the US to press the case for UK business interests. We will keep all options on the table and
won’t hesitate to respond in the national interest.” For media enquiries: Email [email protected] Telephone 020 7215 2000 SHARE THIS PAGE The following links open in a new tab
