- By DAVID LYNCH

THE boss of JCB is to meet the Business and Trade Secretary after the engineering giant was among those which raised the alarm about the impact of new US tariffs on British businesses.

JCB chief executive Graeme Macdonald called on the UK Government to get a “deal done quickly” with the US on steel, after hundreds of British goods became subject to new American tariffs over the weekend.

He is due to meet Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds today to discuss the impact of the levies.

Some 400 categories of goods which contain steel and aluminium became subject to US tariffs over the weekend, including those made in the UK.
