Ireland Dual rate may undermine Brexit deal
The Guardian
|April 04, 2025
Donald Trump's tariff plan could undermine the Brexit deal between the EU and the UK for trading arrangements in Northern Ireland, a highly sensitive agreement designed to maintain the 1998 peace pact.
The US president has imposed a two-tier tariff rate on the island of Ireland - a 20% tax on exports from the republic and a 10% rate on the UK, including Northern Ireland.
A former EU commissioner has questioned whether Trump had fully considered his plan's effect on the peace process brokered by the US in 1998. Although it could put Northern Ireland at an advantage over the Republic of Ireland for exports such as whiskey and dairy produce, a political problem could arise if the EU retaliated with like-for-like tariffs of 20% on US imports.
