What price will the UK pay for a trade deal with Donald Trump? (FT)

The Trump administration is set to impose tariffs on the UK this week along with the rest of the world. These tariffs will come despite efforts by trade negotiators to broker a new “economic deal” with Washington aimed at sparing Britain the worst of the new measures. The UK government will continue to negotiate, but trade experts warn that London may need to pay a high price to win any future exemptions. This article by the Financial Times quotes Michael Gasiorek's insight on what the UK could offer to appease Trump: “the UK could look at offering additional sweeteners, such as ways to increase access for US companies to the Oxford-Cambridge tech corridor, or allowing conformity testing by US-based regulatory standards bodies to be recognised in Britain."
