BBC Midlands: Steve comments on the UK-US Trade Deal

Unlocking regional growth
Written By R B

Steve responds to the newly announced UK–US trade deal, which will cut tariffs on the automotive sector, a move he has strongly advocated for. His reaction follows the publication of a detailed report he prepared for West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker, warning of the damaging consequences of US automotive tariffs on the region. The report urged the immediate removal of the 25% tariffs to prevent “long-term structural effects” on the West Midlands economy. You can download the report here.
