The US and UK have signed an agreement for a 10 per cent tariff on car imports
Business The reduced tariff now applies to the first 100,000 British-made cars imported into the States, but other details are missing Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading President Trump has officially signed an executive order giving the UK a more favourable 10 per cent tariff on car imports. Though, some bits and pieces are yet to be confirmed. More on that shortly. In broad terms, the tariff applies to the first 100,000 British-made vehicles imported by the USA. Now ratified, carmakers can begin to undo the temporary suspensions of their shipments and send stuff across the Atlantic again. The sighs from JLR, counting the US as its biggest market, are especially audible. Advertisement - Page continues below "We welcome the signing of the UK-US deal," the carmaker told "which gives a good level of relief from the steep and sudden US tariffs applied to the UK auto sector in April. We thank both governments and their teams for their work in bringing this deal about." SMMT boss Mike Hawes said: 'This is great news for the UK automotive industry, helping the sector avoid the severest level of tariffs and enabling many manufacturers to resume deliveries imminently.' You might like But it's not all gravy yet. There are still details to be announced 'in coming weeks' according to President Trump. They include confirmation of the tariff on steel and aluminium (a handshake agreement in principle is that the tariff will drop to zero). What's more, EU vehicles – for example, the Mini Countryman built in Germany – will still be liable for the higher 25 per cent blanket tariff. Ouch. Hawes added: 'We wait to see the full details of the deal and how it will be administered but this will be a huge reassurance to those that work in the sector and bolster the confidence of our important US customers.

Trump ‘could keep tariffs on UK steel unless US secures guarantees'
Donald Trump is threatening to keep tariffs on some or all of its steel imports from the UK unless it gives specific guarantees over the Indian-owned steelmaking plant at Port Talbot in south Wales, sources have told the Guardian. An agreement to reduce tariffs on UK car exports to the US and scrap them for the aerospace sector was signed off by the US president and Keir Starmer on Monday, on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada. However, it did not include the removal of tariffs on steel imports from the UK. Officials are still negotiating over the fine points of a deal to cover the steel and aluminium industry, amid US concerns about the fact that Tata Steel imports raw materials from abroad. Starmer told reporters in Banff, Canada: 'There's further work to do in relation to steel, but we're getting on and doing that work.' Trump and Starmer announced the main terms of the trade agreement in May, with the UK prime minister calling it a 'fantastic, historic day'. According to that deal, tariffs on up to 100,000 British cars are due to be reduced to 10% from 27.5%. As it stands, UK steelmakers still face 25% tariffs, although this is lower than the global tariff of 50% imposed by the Trump administration on other nations. The UK business department said the two leaders had pledged to 'make progress towards 0% tariffs on core steel products as agreed' in May. The deal was heralded by Downing Street as a triumph for Starmer's brand of gentle diplomacy, in which he wooed the president with the promise of a state visit while shying away from any direct criticism on topics such as trade. The May trade announcement itself was followed by weeks of further talks as the two sides continued to negotiate over the small print. Monday's announcement by the two leaders means the tariff reductions will kick in for aerospace and automobiles over the coming weeks, with Starmer saying they would begin 'very soon'. However, the Trump administration is understood to be seeking further guarantees on British steel exports, given Tata Steel has closed its blast furnaces at Port Talbot last year and therefore now imports raw materials from abroad until the planned opening of a new, much cleaner electric arc furnace in 2027. According to US import rules, steel must be 'melted and poured' in a country to qualify as having originated in that country. The company says these supplies come from Tata's other sites, mainly those in the Netherlands and India. US trade officials are considering granting Tata an exemption, sources say, but are asking for guarantees about when it will switch on its new electric arc furnaces, and therefore stop importing raw materials from abroad. They also want to know where those supplies are coming from and how Tata is able to track their movements throughout the supply chain. The British government is hoping that the fact that Tata does not import any of the raw steel from China will persuade the Trump administration to include all British exports in the deal. Starmer is sending his business adviser Varun Chandra to lead a delegation to Washington next week, and officials say they are confident of striking a final deal next month. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion The Chinese ownership of British Steel, which has a separate plant at Scunthorpe, is understood not to be an issue since the government took over its management. Alasdair McDiarmid, the assistant general secretary of the steel industry union Community, said on Tuesday: 'It is now absolutely vital that a deal for steel is secured as soon as possible. Our steel producers and their US customers need an end to the current state of uncertainty to allow normal business to resume. 'Crucially, we must see a full exemption for all UK steel exports to the US – without that guarantee, some of our leading steel businesses could be left behind, with a threat to jobs and livelihoods.' A government source said: 'Thanks to our agreement with the US, the UK is the only country in the world to be exempt from the 50% tariff on steel and aluminium that other countries now face. 'Yesterday the US president confirmed his intention to work with the UK to remove the 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium, helping us to ensure they can be implemented as soon as possible and in the best interests of the UK industry.'

Petrolhead comedy star lands brand new car show showcasing flashiest custom motors across the UK
HE'S made no secret of being a petrolhead since he started acting – and now Guz Khan is about to hop into the driver's seat as the host of a new car show. The series, which began filming earlier this month, will see the comedian joined by guests with flash customised and modified motors in a look at the weirdest and wackiest cars across the UK. 6 Guz Khan's Custom Cars, which is expected to launch on Quest next year and is being made by the company behind BBC hit The Repair Shop, could also feature celebrity guest appearances much like the BBC's Top Gear. An insider told me: 'Every type of motor, past, present, and future will make its appearance in this exciting new format, with Guz guiding audiences through a rabbit hole of truly fascinating cars. 'Guz has been attempting to modify his own car so to help inspire him, he will embark on a journey to discover cars as unconventional as their owners. Casting teams for the series worked around the clock to source contributors for the series, who were willing to have their wheels displayed in front of the nation. 'Expect to see the unexpected when it comes to these modified motors — this isn't your regular car series. 'He will test drive their creations and learn more about what modifications can do for cars, as he makes his own journey from 'car purist' to 'car modder'. 'And of course it won't be without elements of comedy, it's only natural with Guz in the hosting seat.' It's a new string to Guz's bow after his hit BBC sitcom Man Like Mobeen came to an end earlier this year after five series. While it will be the first time Guz has hosted a car show, he has previously starred alongside Tinie Tempah in Channel 4's Bangers: Mad For Cars, as well as appearing in Top Gear Magazine. I've Bean killed again HE'S died 25 times so far during his career, including being bombed and pushed off a cliff, drowned and shot, stabbed, beheaded, crushed and impaled – and now Sean Bean is set to kick the bucket once again. The veteran actor, who has become notorious for his characters being bumped off, faces his most grisly death yet, being dismembered by Orlando Bloom. 6 6 In new Prime Video flick Deep Cover, Sean plays a bent cop who will be shot in the head before his body is cut up into pieces – just months after he was killed off in BBC drama This City Is Ours. Luckily for Sean, who has died in every blockbuster franchise he's previously appeared in, including Game Of Thrones, James Bond and Lord Of The Rings, he's not worried. He recently told the Radio Times: 'It came to a point with all the memes, and I thought, 'Maybe I should stop dying as much.' 'It doesn't bother me any more. And, you know, I'm not really dead.' Fearne: I've Cot no clue SHE rubbed shoulders with the Spice Girls and Paris Hilton over her two decades on telly - but that doesn't mean Fearne Cotton recalls all her career highs. The former Top Of The Pops presenter, who starred in ITV quiz show Celebrity Juice and documentary series Fearne And… admits she often needs a nudge as to who she's already met. 6 Fearne told the Dish podcast: 'The opportunities I got, and the situations you would end up in – like, Victoria Beckham in Harrods, we went Christmas shopping. 'I made this series where I'd follow people around. I ended up in Paris Hilton's house, spinning on her stripper pole. 'I have to sometimes Google if I've met someone, and it could be a big celebrity, like Kylie Minogue '.' Is Matt to make the cut? AFTER losing more than SIX stones in weight and dropping from a size XXL to a medium, Matt Lucas is planning to go under the knife. The Little Britain comic, who began his diet in 2021 after ballooning during the Covid-19 pandemic, was left with excess skin after the dramatic weight loss, and has been gearing up for cosmetic surgery to remove it. Speaking on his Making A Scene podcast, he said: 'I've lost about 42 kilograms. 'One weird thing since I've lost the weight, is I've gone down a shoe size. They're less fat now, that's for sure. 'But when I look down I still see a really juicy belly, and I don't feel that I've lost the weight. 'I do have loose skin, so maybe I'll have something done surgically just to make it a bit more presentable. 'I fluctuate [in weight], so I don't feel like I've reached the end of that journey.' Liz's sis gets a look in RUTH JONES and Richard E Grant will take on leading roles as Mr and Mrs Bennet in a new BBC drama based in the world of Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. The BBC One series, which is an adaptation of Janice Hadlow's novel The Other Bennet Sister, will also star The Night Manager's Indira Varma and Heads Of State's Richard Coyle as Mr and Mrs Gardiner. 6 The story follows Elizabeth Bennet's younger sister Mary, played by Call The Midwife's Ella Bruccoleri, as she's taken on as governess to the Gardiners' three children. Filming on the ten-part series has started in Wales, with it expected to be shown late this year.
