Trump's tariffs: 'Brexit means NI could pay more for some goods if we're stuck in the middle of a trade war'
Published 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
In a speech on America’s so-called ‘Liberation Day’, Trump accused the global community of stealing American jobs and ‘ransacking’ US industry. The President has imposed tariffs of 20% on goods from the EU, while goods from the UK, including NI, will be subject to a 10% tariff.
What do the tariffs mean for Northern Ireland, how has Brexit changed our situation, and could the tariffs start a global trade war?
