Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to press U.S. President Donald Trump for a deal to reduce the 25% tariff on British steel imports. According to the Financial Times, Starmer will meet Trump on July 28 and use the talks to push for accelerated cuts in steel tariffs as part of broader trade negotiations. British officials say Starmer will also seek tariff reductions on key UK exports like Scotch whisky, tying these issues into a wider U.S.-UK trade agreement. The move reflects growing concerns in the UK steel industry about the impact of U.S. protectionism on exporters. While neither side has confirmed the report, Starmer’s office said he will highlight the importance of stronger transatlantic ties. The proposed tariff deal could help British steelmakers by opening U.S. markets, but a formal agreement hinges on broader trade talks. For now, the meeting has signalled that the incoming UK government intends to prioritize tariff relief for steel and related sectors in its discussions with Washington
