Will they avoid tariffs?
The UK hopes to negotiate an agreement that will allow the avoidance of new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The US President announced that he would make a decision in this regard on 2nd April.
In mid-March, Trump said that 2nd April will be a very important day for the United States of America. The United States of America will regain much of what was stolen from them by other countries and, frankly, by incompetent US leadership.
