BRITAIN’S trade with the United States has been notably affected by tariffs levied by the administration of US President Donald Trump, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed Friday.
Britain’s goods exports to the United States, excluding precious metals, fell by 1.5 billion pounds (US$2.03 billion) or 24.7 per cent in April 2025 following the introduction of the tariffs and have remained relatively low since, the ONS said. Specifically, its exports of cars to the United States have fallen since the introduction of tariffs and have remained below pre-tariff levels since April 2025.
Meanwhile, Britain’s goods imports from the United States, excluding precious metals, have exceeded its goods exports to the United States for three consecutive months since December 2025. The United States remains Britain’s largest goods export partner and third-largest goods import partner, the ONS said.
