Starmer vows to protect UK businesses from tariff 'storm' 23 hours ago （2025-04-06） The prime minister has said he is prepared to use industrial policy to "shelter British business from the storm" expected from US President Donald Trump's wave of tariffs. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Sir Keir Starmer said he will continue to seek a trade deal with the US to avoid some tariffs, but mooted state intervention to protect the national interest. "Some people may feel uncomfortable about this – the idea the state should intervene directly to shape the market has often been derided," he said. "But we simply cannot cling on to old sentiments when the world is turning this fast." The UK was among nations hit with a 10% "baseline" import duty this week. In addition to the 10% tariffs, a 25% tariff has been put on UK car exports, as well as steel and aluminium products. Many nations will face much higher tariffs of up to 50%, starting on 9 April. Trump has said his intervention was aimed at encouraging US consumers to buy more American goods and boost the domestic economy. But the announcement - and retaliatory tariffs from countries such as China - led to stocks plunging more than 5% amid fears of a global recession. Jaguar Land Rover announced on Saturday it would "pause" all shipments to the US as it works to "address the new trading terms". Sir Keir wrote: "This week we will turbocharge plans that will improve our domestic competitiveness, so we're less exposed to these kinds of global shocks. "We stand ready to use industrial policy to help shelter British business from the storm." The prime minister admitted some may feel "uncomfortable" with the government intervening in the economy, but said the UK could not "cling to old sentiments when the world is turning this fast". He has not ruled out further tax rises in the autumn, but pointed out the government had resisted doing so in its Spring Statement. An industrial strategy promised in Labour's election manifesto is due to be unveiled this summer. Elements of that could now be adapted and brought forward to aid UK firms. In the Telegraph, Sir Keir reiterated the government's position that it would "keep calm and fight for the best deal" with the US, but said "all options remain on the table". He added: "I will only strike a deal if it is right for British business and the security of working people." Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has urged the prime minister to strike a "deep and meaningful trade deal" with the US, that "delivers growth without compromising on standards". The UK exported nearly £60bn worth of goods to the US last year, mainly machinery, cars and pharmaceuticals. On Wednesday, the government published a 400-page list of US goods it could include in any possible tariff response. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told MPs the government would consult with businesses on how retaliatory tariffs could affect them. The list covers 27% of imports from the US - chosen because they would have a "more limited impact" on the UK economy, the Department for Business and Trade said. Sir Keir said he would also seek to reduce trade barriers with other economies to limit the impact of US tariffs on UK exports. Over the weekend, the prime minister spoke to several world leaders to discuss how to respond to the US tariffs. In a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, the pair agreed a trade war was "in nobody's interests" but "nothing should be off the table". But both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats say UK families and businesses will first feel the impact of the National Insurance hike for employers that takes effect today.

据英国天空新闻网报道，英国政府4月3日公布一份产品清单，列出可能作为报复性措施被征收关税的美国产品，以回应美国总统特朗普早些时候对英国征收10%进口#关税#的决定。
报道称，这份清单长达400多页，涵盖超过8000类商品，其中包括威士忌和牛仔裤。 同日早些时候，英国商业和贸易大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹证实，英国正在考虑对美国实施报复性关税。但英国政府同时表示，报复性关税将是“最后的手段”。
此外，英国政府已与有关企业展开为期四周的磋商，讨论报复性关税可能带来的影响。 特朗普4月2日在白宫签署两项关于所谓“对等关税”的行政令，并亮出关于美国计划对哪些贸易伙伴采取关税措施以及征多少关税的表牌。其中，对英国征收关税税率为10%。欧盟以及美国多个贸易伙伴均已表示将要以报复性关税及其他反制措施回应美国的关税政策。

越南：准备将对美关税降至零，同时要求美国也对越南的关税调整降至零 越南拟将对美关税降至零意欲何为 2025-04-05 13:25:51 来源: 看看新闻Knews
当地时间4月4日，美总统特朗普宣布已与越共中央总书记苏林进行电话交谈，越南方面正与美国进行0关税的磋商，并计划在不久的将来与其会面。
越南官方媒体称，越南领导人愿意谈美国商品零关税的问题，但希望美对越南产品采取同样零关税措施。
越南计划在4月5日派遣由副总理带领的越南代表团访美，代表团成员包括越南的航空公司。此前，越南承诺将大量采购波音客机。
东南亚成美国此次“对等关税”重灾区，其中越南被加征46%关税。联合国数据显示，越南去年对美出口高达1420亿美元，对美贸易在越南GDP中的占比为30%。

如果你還賺錢，川普搞不好會要你交一大筆保護費！
没错，这次是 “逆差税” 或 “逆差罚金”
====================== 即使，越南柬埔寨，下跪，但预计，川普也不太有兴趣让其降关税，而是... 让这些国家，直接采购进口，按照逆差直接减少的简单比例，以年度或半年度评估或季度评估结果，事后才来，豁免部分关税。 可这两个小国，能从美国买得起哪些呢？买得了多少呢？
对其他经济体，无论欧洲还是日本，来求情时，川普的谈判逻辑，大概率也是类似的。 这样才能马上见效，而不是确定一个关税，慢慢等结果后再调整；无法达到川普心目中的，在美国快速扩大制造业，能在中期选举不lose的结果。
然而，绝大部分的这些国家，国内也是有民意选票压力，或者国企民企的生存空间，无论期间多少意外反转波折，最终，只能也是高筑关税墙和行政限制及罚款措施，对抗美国。
“拟加税” 算是个所谓的谈判技巧，或话术。
相当于，拿个罚款清单，去问川普！
这明摆着不给越南活路，越南从美国那里拿到的顺差相当一部分付给了东大来购买设备零件和原料。如果跟美国贸易平衡了就意味着手里没剩下美元去进口生产需要的东西了，这样下去要么是经济萎缩，要么是跟中国RMB交易，妥妥的去美元化。
还有一大部分给三星耐克当利润拿走了。
怎么办？我从今以后只能自己养鸡、种菜了，can not let the grocery stores to rig me, 他们从我身上赚钱、却从来不买我一样东西。自己种菜养鸡虽然短期内痛苦，长期而言我将以身作则复兴人类自己自足的小农经济，make myself great again!
如果你同时还欠了别人一屁股子债，连利息都快还不起了，开始养鸡种菜，会是个很好的开始。
事实是我从他们那里买便宜货，花了一大笔钱，自己却没能力赚钱，所以需要节衣缩食来还债了
对的，所以先砸烂自己的高薪白领工作、砸烂自己的商业伙伴，破釜沉舟，砸烂退路，不破不立。饿几天也会挺过来的，不然老惦记着grocery store ，不能自立可不好！
