President Donald Trump has angered America’s trading partners by announcing extra tariffs of 10 to 12.5% on goods from 60 countries, including the UK.
He said they had failed to properly enforce a ban on goods made with forced labour.
The new tariffs came into effect last night, just as stop-gap levies expired and apply to 99% of US imports.
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs President Trump imposed under emergency powers were unlawful.
