UK Exports to U.S. Drop 25% Following Trump's Tariffs, Trade Deficit Emerges
UK exports to the U.S. fell by 25% after President Donald Trump's 'liberation day' tariffs in April 2025, leading to a trade deficit with its largest trading partner. The Office for National Statistics reported a £1.5 billion decline in goods exports, with car exports also remaining below pre-tariff levels. Trump recently announced the removal of tariffs on Scotch whisky in honor of King Charles III.
