The British government hopes that all tariffs imposed by former US President Donald Trump will be lifted in the event of an economic agreement focused on technology. This was stated by British Business Minister Jonathan Reynolds, quoted by „Reuters“, reports News.bg.
The UK expects to be affected by the upcoming tariffs that Trump plans to impose on goods from various countries this week. However, London will continue negotiations on a new economic partnership, hoping to achieve exemption from the levies once they are introduced.
Reynolds stressed that Britain is taking a „calm approach“. Asked whether he expects the tariffs to be lifted within weeks or months, he said: „Yes, that is the aim "But the minister warned that the lack of a quick solution could lead to retaliation from the UK." "The longer we wait to reach a solution, the more we will have to consider our own position," he said. Reynolds added that London should keep all options on the table, including the possibility of imposing retaliatory tariffs. "I think that's sensible," he said.
