  • No 10 hits back at Trump UK tariff warning as trade war tanks US and EU markets - US president warns of EU tariffs 'soon' as row risks overshadowing PM's key meeting with European leaders

The article discusses the escalating tensions between the UK and the US over trade policies, particularly focusing on former President Donald Trump's warning about imposing tariffs on UK car exports if the UK does not agree to a favorable trade deal post-Brexit. No. 10 Downing Street has responded by asserting that the UK will not be coerced into a bad deal. This comes amidst a broader context of a trade war affecting global markets, with both the US and EU experiencing economic downturns due to retaliatory tariffs. The article also touches on the internal political dynamics in the UK, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak facing pressure from various fronts, including his own party, as they navigate these international trade negotiations. Additionally, there are mentions of other political developments, like the ongoing discussions about the Northern Ireland Protocol and the general economic impact of Brexit.
