Trump’s latest tariff threat raises concerns for UK pharmaceuticals

Britain will actively engage' with US over possible 100% duties, with truck and cabinet makers also in firing line

Donald Trump's threat to impose new tariffs from next week on branded drugs, trucks and kitchen cabinets has raised fresh concerns for the UK pharmaceutical industry, which remains excluded from Keir Starmer's US tariff deal agreed five months ago.

Trump promised the UK preferential treatment" on pharmaceutical tariffs in May but has yet to deliver on his pledge.
