UK temporarily spared from Trump's 50% metal tariffs

The UK has been temporarily spared from US President Donald Trump's 50% metal tariffs, as an executive order keeps import taxes at 25% for now due to a pending UK-US tariff pact. UK steel exporters will still face tariffs until the deal is in effect, risking the 50% tariff if the pact fails. Trump's recent order is seen as a setback by the Conservatives, but the UK government remains committed to implementing the agreement with the US to remove the tariffs.
