## Resource

The UK government is reconsidering its aggressive steel tariffs, set to expire July 1st, after manufacturers warn they’ll cripple operations reliant on imported steel. While the original plan—doubling tariffs to 50% and slashing quotas by 60%—aimed to boost domestic producers, industry leaders are pushing for targeted exemptions. Officials are meeting this week to strike a balance: supporting Britain’s revitalizing steel sector without wrecking broader manufacturing. With a temporary pause already in place, the focus now is on extending relief or formalizing exemptions—while navigating similar tensions with the EU.
