Trade partners grow restless waiting for Trump's tariff breaks
Live Events 'Forever Negotiations' Japan's Uncertainty Hyundai, Kia 'Just Overwhelmed' UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared at a Jaguar Land Rover factory in May that his world-leading trade deal with President Donald Trump included a cut in US tariffs on British steel to than three months later, steel lobbyist Peter Brennan was still waiting for that relief to become director of trade and economic policy at industry body UK Steel, said most members had seen US orders fall because of the uncertainty over America's 25% import tax. One producer that makes particularly price-competitive products said they'd be out of business by year-end if tariffs aren't reduced to zero, he added.'Concern is growing that finalizing the deal on steel has fallen down the priority list both for the UK and US governments,' Brennan said last week. 'The will to close the deal may well be faltering on both sides.'Frustration and economic losses like those in the UK are growing in Japan, the European Union and South Korea. Those three made similar announcements over the past month: that Washington granted them leniency on auto exports in the haggling over the level of Trump's across-the-board tariffs that took effect Aug. for the trio of car export powerhouses, which unlike the UK face a 50% duty on their steel and aluminum, the wait for Trump's concession continues while an American levy justified on national security grounds on imported Toyotas, BMWs, Hyundais and others remains at a crippling 25%.'We're continuing to see damage — the bleeding hasn't stopped,' Japan's chief trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said Friday in a reference to the country's car industry. 'We want the US to sign the executive order as soon as possible.'Spokesmen for the White House , the US Trade Representative's office and the Commerce Department didn't reply to requests for was three weeks ago that EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shook hands with Trump in Scotland over what she called an 'all-inclusive' tariff of 15% that officials in Brussels later understood to be a ceiling that would also apply to which represents Germany's car industry, is pressing for fast implementation to alleviate a 'considerable burden' on manufacturers and their suppliers.'The deal between the EU and the US has not yet brought any clarity or improvement for the German automotive industry,' VDA President Hildegard Müller said in a statement to Bloomberg News on Thursday. 'The costs incurred run into the billions and continue to rise.'Cecilia Malmström, the former European commissioner for trade who's now a nonresident fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, cautioned that any delays may be purely 'if nothing happens, there will be huge pressure on the European Commission to retaliate or to act in some way, especially from carmakers in Germany, Italy, France, Sweden and others,' she said. 'There are so many other things that are vague in the EU-US deal — and in the others as well — so it is likely we will see forever negotiations and a lot of filibustering.'At a press briefing on Aug. 14, European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said Washington and Brussels are finalizing a joint statement. 'The US has made political commitments to us in this respect and we look forward to them being implemented,' he than a week before the EU's announcement, the US and Japan clinched a surprise deal on July 22 that lowered across-the-board tariffs and car levies to 15%. So far the broader duties have been implemented but the added tax on autos remains at 25%.Officials in Asia's No. 2 economy are waiting for an executive order from Trump to bring down the car levies, as well as an official directive — like the EU already received — to clarify that the universal tariffs don't stack on top of existing has mentioned how a Japanese carmaker is losing ¥100 million ($680,000) every hour due to the media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not more: US, Japan Working to Announce Reciprocal Tariffs Won't StackLast month Nissan Motor Corp. said it foresaw a ¥300 billion hit from the lower tariff rate, down from a previous estimate of ¥450 billion. But Chief Executive Officer Ivan Espinosa has warned of the difficulties in giving an accurate forecast as long as it's unclear when the tariffs will take effect and in what flew to the US earlier this month to confirm that the US will be adjusting its executive order soon to remove the stacking, and pay back overcharges on tariffs. Neither has yet to similar questions is South Korea, which announced a trade agreement with Washington on July 31. That pact would impose a 15% tariff on imports to the US, including autos, alongside a $350 billion Korean investment pledge focused on shipbuilding, and $100 billion in energy 15% universal tariff took effect earlier this month under Trump's order, but like Japan, the sectoral auto tariff remains at 25%. While South Korea's exports overall have stayed resilient in the first half of the year, thanks to front-loading by companies anticipating higher US tariffs, the value of car shipments to the US fell nearly 17%, and steel exports dropped more than 11%, trade data Korea's top automaker Hyundai Motor Co. and affiliate Kia Corp. could face as much as $5 billion in additional costs this year even under the new 15% auto tariff, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Joanna Chen. While avoiding a 25% levy will save more than $3 billion, the duty squeezes margins amid softer demand and tighter subsidies, intensifying competition with Japanese automakers, Chen President Lee Jae Myung's planned summit with Trump on Aug. 25 — their first meeting since Lee took office in June — will test the durability of the $350 billion investment pledge, as well as their alliance over sensitive issues like defense spending, US troop levels and North Korea Starmer and the UK, most aspects of the pact have now come into force, including a 10% so-called reciprocal rate that's the lowest among all US trading partners. Yet Trump's 25% tax on British steel still chafes amid the delays in cutting the issues to resolve is the US's insistence that steel should be melted and poured in the UK in order to qualify. That's a requirement which Tata Steel UK, one of the country's biggest producers, is no longer able to fulfill after closing down its blast furnace last year. Its new electric arc furnace is not due to be ready until late familiar with the government's thinking are cautiously optimistic they might be able to secure exemptions to the melt-and-pour rule, whereby steel imported from certain European countries before being further processed in the UK is allowed to qualify as British.'It's not for lack of trying by the UK government,' said Tim Rutter, director of public affairs at Tata Steel. 'We hear that US departments are just overwhelmed.'A spokesperson for the UK Department for Business and Trade said officials will continue to work with Washington to implement the deal as soon as on Friday in Washington, the US Customs and Border Protection agency issued new inclusions to steel and aluminum product lists for tariffs that take effect Monday, with some of the guidance affecting imports from the Akazawa acknowledged that even with the UK, actual implementation of key parts of their deal took 54 days. As a result, he's said that it's 'not bad' if an executive order from the US comes by around mid-September.'It's just further confirmation that negotiations never really end,' especially with more US tariffs coming for sectors including pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, said Sam Lowe, a partner at Flint Global in London and head of its trade and market access practice.

JSW Steel and POSCO plan joint venture for 6 MTPA steel plant in Odisha
Executives from both companies highlighted the strategic importance of the tie-up. Jayant Acharya, Joint MD and CEO of JSW Steel, said that combining JSW's strong execution capabilities in India with POSCO's technological expertise would create a competitive steel manufacturing hub catering to both domestic and international markets. Lee Ju-tae, President of POSCO Holdings, noted that India is central to future global steel demand and described the partnership as one built on long-term trust and a shared vision for industrial growth. The companies will now conduct a detailed study to assess the location, investment structure, raw material requirements and regulatory approvals before taking a final investment decision. Industry analysts say the project could strengthen India's steel manufacturing capacity and support its ambitions of becoming a global hub for industrial production. It also signals POSCO's renewed interest in India after past plans were delayed due to land acquisition challenges. If completed, the project would represent one of the most significant Indo-Korean industrial collaborations and add momentum to India's goal of ramping up domestic steel output while also expanding its export potential.
