The United Kingdom has said it
was deeply disappointed with the United States.
The British Prime Minister,
Theresa May, said this on Friday over US move to apply tariffs on EU steel and
aluminium imports.
“I am deeply disappointed at the
unjustified decision.
“The EU and UK should be
permanently exempted from tariffs and we will continue to work together
to protect and safeguard our
workers and industries,” May said in a statement.
She said Britain’s steel and
aluminium industries were hugely important to the UK , noting they also
contribute to U. S . industry, including in defence projects , which bolster U.

The EU has taken the U. S. to the
World Trade Organisation to challenge the legality of the new tariffs.
President Donald Trump, who is
due to visit Britain in July , told Canada and the EU to do more to bring down
their trade surpluses with the U. S.
