Top gear or crunching gears: Trade and the auto sector
View postSummary CITP publication
Series 6, Episode 2 - When long-established international trade flows get disrupted, it's not always easy to predict the consequences. Given the adjustments that the UK is continuing to have to make as a result of leaving the EU single market a few years ago, and now President Trump’s global 25% tariff surcharge on imports of cars and components, the challenges are starting to pile up for Britain's automotive sector. How will exporters be affected by Trump’s tariffs, how should the British Government and British carmakers respond and what are the prospects for deepening and expanding trade with other countries around the world, especially in regards to raw materials? Joining our host, Chris Horseman (Borderlex), to discuss these issues are Emanuel Adam (British American Business), Ian Henry (AutoAnalysis) and Richard Gard (Nissan).

Tariffs, three months of negotiations does not mean that the worst is over, says economist Nicolò Tamberi
View postSummary CITP publication
Article by Il Sole 24 Ore highlights President Trump’s tariffs and the potential for negotiations during the three-month pause, includes comments from Nicolò Tamberi: "the possibility that positive scenarios will not materialise should not be ruled out, that everything will not be fine"..."While the European Union is working on strengthening the conditions for assuming responsibility for continental defence and security, at the same time, it should rethink its commercial position in a context that is no longer characterized forever by the existence of a friend on the other side of the Atlantic, but which includes the possibility that it is a friend who can become an adversary. I hope this does not happen, however we are careful not to rule out such an eventuality simply to be optimistic".

Whatever Starmer agrees with Trump on trade, the trust is gone (The i Paper)
View postSummary CITP publication
Article by The i Paper explores the question, “What concessions are Sir Keir Starmer prepared to offer Donald Trump when he strikes a trade deal with the US?” amidst his non-confrontational approach to Washington’s imposition of tariffs - 10% on goods exported to the US and 25% on UK car and steel exports. Rather than retaliate, Starmer is offering concessions on areas such as digital taxes and agriculture. Commenting on the broader implications, L. Alan Winters notes, “Trump has destroyed trust, and no one is going to get over that for a long time. People are not going to trust the US to be a reliable partner anymore, so we won’t ever restore the status quo and see trust return, or at least not this decade.”

Why China will not back down in Trump's tariff war (DW News)
View postSummary CITP publication
In a live interview with DW News, Meredith Crowley remarked that China’s order to suspend deliveries of Boeing jets represents a significant setback for the U.S. manufacturer, which has faced ongoing domestic challenges and quality control issues in recent years, particularly with the 747 Max. The move could have serious implications for the highly skilled and well-paid jobs in the aerospace sector. Crowley also noted that the suspension poses operational difficulties for China, given its reliance on a Boeing-equipped fleet and trained pilots, which may prompt a short-term shift to acquiring used Boeing aircrafts from other parts of the world while exploring long-term retraining strategies to transition to alternative aircraft models.
