On September 16th, according to the British Financial Times, British Prime Minister Starmer has shelved the idea of "a quota of zero tariffs on British steel exports to the United States", and instead prefers to negotiate with Trump, < b > to obtain a "permanent" 25% tariff treatment for all British steel exports . According to Starmer's allies, if British steel exports can get a fixed tariff commitment of 25%, it will provide "< b > certainty " for the industry and give it a competitive advantage - because this rate is only half of the 50% tariff paid by other countries. Government officials said there was no "formal agreement" to make the 25 per cent tariff on British steel "permanent", but it was expected to be announced during Mr. Trump's three-day state visit, which begins on Tuesday.
