Trump's Potential Tariffs Spark Global Trade Concerns

There is growing concern in foreign capitals about the possibility of Donald Trump imposing tariffs on imported goods if he returns to the White House. These fears are particularly pronounced in the UK, where officials are hoping to avoid being targeted by such measures. Trump's trade policies, which could include higher taxes on foreign imports, are seen as a threat to global trade relations. Meanwhile, UK finance minister Rachel Reeves is expected to advocate for 'free and open' trade in an upcoming speech, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation amid these uncertainties.
