A DISASTER FOR UK INDUSTRY

IT is estimated the UK ships more than £60billion worth of goods to the United States each year.

So which industries will be hit hardest by Donald Trump's tariffs?

CARS

Britain exports around £6.4billion worth of cars to the US approximately one in five cars sold - most of which are high-end luxury brands.

The introduction of levies is therefore bad news for marques such as Jaguar Land Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Cars and the steel they are made from have already been the subject of tariffs but there is hope that customers will be able to absorb the increased price.
