From: Donuel - PM Date: 31 May 18 - 05:46 PM The UK is now subject to our tariffs on US Steel Trumpy hates Theresa for her insults but likes Turnbull so Oz gets an exception Just a little correction to this. Trump will impose tariffs on EU (not UK alone). It is not, then, a response to Theresa May. If we were no longer part of the EU we may have been able to discuss this separately, but we are currently bound in a single customs union with the rest of the EU, so have to accept deals and tariffs the same as the rest. If these tariffs are the result of a failure in negotiation, it is a failure by the EU, not by the UK.
