The UK is contemplating retaliatory actions in response to Donald Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Failing to secure an exemption from these tariffs could endanger jobs in the British steel industry. In a similar vein, the European Union has levied retaliatory tariffs on American goods. Sir Keir Starmer voiced his discontent regarding the tariffs, expressing, "I'm disappointed to see global tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum."
