The UK must resist retaliating to Trump's tariffs and stick to a policy of free trade for economic growth | LBC

Reem Ibrahim wrote in LBC about Trump's tariffs and made the case for free trade.

The article said:

"This week, after much speculation, Trump has announced that his administration will levy a 25% import tax on all steel and aluminium products entering the United States from the 12th March.

Tariffs are effectively taxes on consumers. They are bad for businesses, worse for consumers, and incredibly harmful to the global trading system."

"That being said, the tariffs announced this week are primarily going to hurt Americans. In his first term, tariffs on Chinese imports cost Americans over $800 per household on average.

Tariffs create a lose-lose situation by shrinking economic activity."
