GMB Union has responded to the latest wave of tariffs on imports to the US, announced overnight.
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Secretary, said:
“Trump’s latest tariffs are ill-judged, potentially catastrophic for business and likely to utterly fail in their stated aim
“Despite claiming they have been introduced to prevent forced labour, in fact they will lead to job losses and reduced earnings for workers across the world.
“The EU now has a better trading relationship with the US than we do - which undermines the so-called ‘special relationship’.
“Once again, the president’s knee-jerk actions will gain nothing, hurt US business and take dollars out of people’s pockets.”
