LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) – British trade minister Peter Kyle said he was confident the trade deal Britain struck last year with the United States would still stand despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest move to apply a 10% global import tariff.
The United States began collecting the temporary new 10% tariff on Tuesday but the Trump administration was working to increase it to 15%, sowing confusion over U.S. tariff policies in the wake of last week’s Supreme Court defeat.
But Kyle said he was confident following engagement with the U.S. administration in recent days that a deal reached between the two countries last year would still stand.
