British businesses face 'uncertainty' after Trump raises global tariffs to 15%

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : But, of course, we want to get the best possible deal for British businesses."I understand the uncertainty it does cause for them, but they can be assured that we will always be working to make sure they get everything that they need."Mr Trump signed an executive order on Friday night that enabled him to bypass Congress and impose a 10% tax on imports from around the world, after his "reciprocal tariffs", introduced under an emergency powers law in April, were struck down by the Supreme Court.
47% : The US president said on Saturday he would be imposing a 15% global tariff "effective immediately" after the Supreme Court overturned his previous import taxes policy in a ruling on Friday.The UK's biggest business organisation swiftly expressed dismay at the announcement and urged the government to continue dialogue with US counterparts to keep Britain's competitive advantage.
