How Trump’s dangerous trade tariffs will lead to pain for Brit consumers – 7 key questions we need answers on
PRESIDENT Trump will today unleash the biggest shake-up in global trade since World War Two as he threatens to impose tariffs across the globe.
But what will it mean for us in Britain – and can we escape the pain.
Here we answer the key questions . . .
WHAT is happening today?
According to Donald Trump, it is “Liberation Day”.
To others, it is known — and feared — as “world tariff day”, with the President getting ready to ramp up his global trade war.
Only Trump knows exactly what he will announce when he speaks at around 9pm UK time.
Last night, he was said to be “perfecting his announcement” inside the White House.
But the expectation is that he will slap a blanket tariff of 20 per cent on all finished foreign goods entering the US, with no initial exemptions for allies such as the UK.
HOW does a tariff work?
In effect, it is a tax on foreign goods coming into a country.
It is paid by the company which imports goods and goes to that country’s government.
Most tariffs are set as a percentage of the value of the goods.
For example, a 20 per cent tariff would mean a charge of $10,000 on a $50,000 car.
Typically, it makes the price of that product more expensive as the tariff is passed straight on to consumers.
Tariffs have the specific purpose of giving home-grown companies an advantage over foreign producers trying to sell goods in a market.
WHY is Trump doing this?
The US President has long been a fan of the tariff — famously describing it as the “most beautiful word in the dictionary”.
He has raged for years about the unfairness of other countries slapping taxes on the import of US goods, with the EU a particular target of his rage after BMWs and Mercedes from Europe have flooded the American car market.
The EU is included in a “Dirty 15” list of countries which export more to the US than they import in return — which is known as a trade imbalance.
Trump also believes that introducing tariffs will encourage more companies to build factories in America to avoid tariffs, and that US consumers will be more likely to buy “made in America” products if they are cheaper as a result of being tariff-free.
WHAT will the immediate impact be for the UK?
At the very least, there will be huge uncertainty and companies are already having to pause their investments or shipments to the US while they wait for the full impact of Trump’s onslaught.
Trump has already indicated there will be 25 per cent tariffs on all imports of steel and cars, which would hit British manufacturers such as Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover.
There is also nervousness that Trump could look to punish the UK because of our policy of imposing VAT on the sale of most goods.
Trump hates VAT and has called it “unfair and discriminatory”.
A blanket tariff on UK exports would clobber everything from cheese to luxury clothing and whisky.
Pharmaceuticals and chemicals firms are particularly exposed.
HOW will Keir Starmer react?
He is trying to be calm and the Prime Minister has signalled he will not hit back with “knee-jerk” counter-tariffs.
His strategy has been to try to charm the President — most memorably by hand-delivering him an invitation from King Charles for a State visit.
But this has failed to win the UK any initial exemption from today’s announcement — with Trump wanting a big global moment.
Talks will continue in the coming weeks on agreeing a new UK/US economic partnership which could see some or all of the tariffs ultimately lifted.
In return for a deal, the UK is expected to make concessions to the President, including changes to the UK’s global tech tax, which mostly hits big US firms.
HOW dangerous is this moment for the UK?
Very.
Both Starmer and his Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds say the UK is better placed than any other country to strike a deal with Trump.
Reynolds has insisted there are “advanced talks” and said that today is “not a deadline”.
The US imports £60.4billion of British goods, only fractionally more than the £57.9billion the UK imports from America.
So Trump has less reason to hammer the UK than the EU, for example.
However, Trump is highly unpredictable and, if no good deal can be reached, Starmer will find himself under intense pressure to impose retaliatory tariffs on US exports to the UK.
In other words, we would be in a trade war with our biggest economic partner.
With the economy fragile, experts believe a tariff war could hit UK growth by one per cent.
At a stroke, it would wipe out all of the Chancellor’s £10billion headroom, which she created last week by cutting benefits and other spending.
WHAT does it mean for consumers?
One word: Pain.
Tariffs are a nightmare for business because they make the flow of goods around the world much more expensive.
As we found out from the hangover of the pandemic, any snarl in supply chains leads to prices soaring.
If the UK snaps back and imposes tariffs on US goods, it would make products such as Levi’s jeans, Jack Daniel’s and Harley-Davidsons much more expensive for British consumers.
There is the counter argument that goods could become cheaper as companies divert products originally destined for the US to the UK.
But, in the long-term, the big risk is that this so-called “diversionary trade” ends up flooding our market with cheap imports, ruining British homegrown companies who can not compete and costing thousands of jobs.

Charity boss who accused Prince Harry of ‘bullying’ forced off social media after vile abuse from fans of Duke & Meghan
THE charity chief who accused Prince Harry of harassment has shut down her social media after she was trolled by “Sussex Squad” backers of the Duke and wife Meghan.
Sentebale’s Dr Sophie Chandauka was subjected to racial abuse and wild conspiracy theories.
Others branded her a “fraud jumping on a bandwagon of hate” in series of offensive messages.
A user with “TeamSussex” in their profile used a racist term to denounce Dr Chandauka.
A totally unfounded dig bizarrely claimed she was paid by William and Kate to discredit Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43.
A Sentebale spokesman said: “Dr Chandauka deleted her Twitter account due to the proliferation of online bullying.”
She had accused Harry of “harassment and bullying at scale” after he and other trustees quit the charity last week.
He created it in 2006 to continue mum Diana’s work helping people in southern Africa living with HIV and Aids.
Yesterday trustees hit out at the way the charity’s finances were managed.
Sentebale was in financial trouble despite getting £1.2million from Harry from the proceeds of his book Spare.
The Charity Commission is probing claims that £500,000 went on consultants to source wealthy US donors — a move which flopped.
Defending Harry, pal Alex Rayner said: “He is beyond heartbroken and flabbergasted that the charity he founded as a teenager has been taken hostage by the chair.
“It feels tantamount to a hostile takeover.”
Meanwhile, Meghan last night treated fans to a video of her dancing as she made jam.

France admits it could end small boats crisis – but Macron’s Brexit hatred stands in the way
Oui can help
IT’S quite the confession from France.
Its government knows it could solve the small boats crisis overnight by taking back all migrants landing illegally on our shores.
With the deadly trip rendered pointless, the numbers queuing for a dinghy in northern France would dry up.
If they are sent straight back, it “would send a clear message”, admits Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau. You can say that encore une fois, monsieur.
Trouble is, President Macron loathes Brexit and wants it to fail. And he’s always preferred to let the small boats set sail than strike a bespoke deal direct with Britain to stop them.
Mr Retailleau is a no-nonsense character who also believes the ECHR too often “tramples” on nations’ sovereignty.
Can he persuade Macron to get real about ending this appalling, lethal trade?
Sum friend
WHAT now for the “special relationship” if Donald Trump slaps punitive tariffs today on British exports to the US?
Our economy under Labour is already in dire straits.
Trump’s deranged “liberation day” could even tip us, supposedly America’s No1 ally, into recession.
That seems the likely fate of the US too. Millions re-elected Trump because prices soared under Joe Biden.
They didn’t vote for higher inflation and a collapse in their savings triggered by Trump’s ignorance about the effect of tariffs.
His international bullying is hammering stock markets — and generating fear among families and businesses across America and those nations it traditionally counts as friends.
And it could be terminal for our Government’s central mission, growth.
Not much is more important, then, than somehow talking Trump out of it.
Isles betrayal
LABOUR are lucky that those whose benefits they slashed are not paying more attention to the Chagos Islands debacle.
This wretched, inexplicable “deal” is finally done.
We surrender strategically vital British islands in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius, a distant African country with no valid claim.
Then we pay Mauritius £90million a year for 99 years, plus inflation, to lease back an airbase we already own.
It really is that deranged.
The Americans will realise, too late, what an own-goal it was when Mauritius lets Chinese warships circle the islands to spy on the UK-US Diego Garcia base.
The Government is coy about how it will fund this multi-billion-pound betrayal of our interests, motivated by wokery over “colonialism”.
But given what it is saving in welfare, it’s fair to say pensioners and the disabled are paying the bill.
Good luck defending that on the doorsteps.
Inside scandal-hit ‘breastaurant’ Hooters’ demise – from sex abuse claims to fury at even skimpier shorts
IT’S the world-famous “breastaurant” known for chicken wings and hot chicks.
In tight T-shirts and skimpy shorts, waitresses have been dishing up fried chicken in Hooters restaurants worldwide for more than 40 years.
But now the parent company, Hooters of America, has filed for bankruptcy in the US, amid mounting debts.
It means 151 of its directly owned restaurants may face closure.
However, its 154 franchisees, including three UK restaurants, in Nottingham, Newcastle and Liverpool, are safe for now.
But the controversial chain’s sorry fate in the States points to a bigger problem, which might have heavier implications for Hooters employees and patrons everywhere: Is there still room for a brand that has been slammed for its “regressive” views on its female staff, and has faced lawsuits in the past for its “discriminatory” employment tactics?
The company’s desperate attempts to stay profitable in recent years — including a dramatic “rebrand” in 2022 to be more “family-friendly” — suggest the writing has been on the wall for a while.
The much-loved institution was founded in Clearwater, Florida, in 1983 by six businessmen, Gil DiGiannantonio, Edward C Droste, Billy Ranieri, Ken Wimmer, Lynn D Stewart and Dennis Johnson.
The self-titled “Hooters Six” were, by their own admission, “six clueless knuckleheads” with one vision.
“We wanted to open a neighbourhood joint with a beach theme, that we couldn’t get kicked out of,” Droste told USA Today.
They named their restaurant Hooters — double entendre slang for owls and women’s breasts — leaving no doubt what their selling power was.
And, to the group’s surprise, the concept took off.
The following year, food entrepreneur Robert H Brooks bought the small chain of Florida-based restaurants, expanding it to a worldwide brand with 430 outposts, plus an airline, an auto racing series, a golf tour, Las Vegas hotel, magazine and even a Hooters Mastercard.
With their barely-there outfits, the Hooters Girls represented its core values — giving Hugh Hefner’s Playboy bunnies a run for their money.
From day one, Hooters expected its waitresses to capitalise on their sex appeal and flirt with customers.
They had to agree to three statements: To wear the uniform, interact and entertain the customers, and that “the Hooters concept is based on female sex appeal”.
Yet some employees reported the rules changed over the years, especially when it came to their eye-popping outfits.
In 2021, the chain was rocked with complaints, after it emerged it had made the shorts even skimpier.
I ran around in tights and a leotard all day long anyway
Amy Adams
One waitress, Kristen Songer, said on TikTok: “There’s no longer anything covered by these shorts.
“This is why all the Hooters girls are upset — this is not what I agreed to wear a year ago when I was hired.”
Despite its controversial fashion choices, the popular chain managed to attract a sea of recruits.
Comedian Katherine Ryan says waiting tables for the brand in Ontario, Canada, gave her a platform to flex her comedic muscles as she took part in bikini pageants and won Miss Hooters Toronto 2004.
This year she told TV relationship guru Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast: “Women can find empowerment in any situation, even one that objectifies them.
“Hooters was the place I found the most empowerment.”
In 2019, actress Amy Adams revealed she had worked for Hooters aged 18.
“It was a really good job because, at the time, minimum wage was $3.85 and they were willing to pay $7 to the hostesses,” she said.
“I ran around in tights and a leotard all day long anyway.”
US model Chrissy Teigen also has fond memories of her days there.
I have nightmares about that job
Naya Rivera
But sharing photos of herself in the uniform on Instagram in 2021, she pointed out: “The shorts, they have changed!!!!”
But late Glee star Naya Rivera had a different take on her time at Hooters.
“I have nightmares about that job,” she told Allure magazine in 2013.
“When I was working there, I was really skinny.
“But I was always self-conscious.”
While the first British Hooters — in Birmingham in early 1998 — was short-lived, the brand found success later that year with a franchise in Nottingham and, in 2022, a second in Liverpool.
The owners of the Nottingham outlet — which in 2009 hailed Sven- Goran Eriksson’s new Notts County director role on its sign — recently opened a new outpost, in Newcastle.
As news spread this week that the US parent company was going under, its UK franchisees insisted they were staying open — and had high hopes for the future.
Over the years, the US chain has managed to survive some serious controversy and criticism, including alleged racial profiling and discrimination against trans women when it came to hiring its all-female staff
In 2000, it paid £275,000 damages to former waitress Sara Steinhoff, for unwanted sexual advances, demeaning behaviour and recrimination from managers at the Newport, Kentucky site during the 1990s.
But while customers continued to pour in throughout the Noughties and 2010s, the rise of the #MeToo movement, plus desires for healthier food, cast it in a less flattering light.
Then the Covid lockdowns hit, devastating the restaurant industry.
By 2025, the company’s financial struggles, controversial image and declining footfall could not guarantee its future on US soil.
Insiders say Hooters of America now hopes to keep as many restaurants open as possible, with plans for some of its original owners to buy and revive the failed shops.
Meanwhile, the brand lives on in the hearts and minds of every wing and breast lover — of every variety.

Major UK train station EVACUATED sparking chaos for thousands of passengers – check your journey
A MAJOR train station has been evacuated sparking travel chaos for thousands of passengers.
Confused travellers were forced to exit Marylebone Station, in northwestern Central London, at around 9.30pm.
The evacuation appears to have been triggered by a fire alarm.
Passengers have been warned services are likely to be delayed or cancelled for the next half an hour.
Travel chaos could continue up until around 10.30pm, according to National Rail.
One disgruntled ticket-holder said on X: “No communication about the situation at all.”
“Just been asked to evacuate Marylebone station. What is going on?,” wrote another.
A spokesperson for Chiltern Railways said: “Due to the fire alarm sounding at London Marylebone, trains due to start or terminate at the station may be delayed or cancelled by up to 30 minutes.
“We apologise for the impact this may have on your journey this evening.”
National Rail added: “There is a fire alarm sounding at London Marylebone station.
“Trains running to / from this station may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes.
“Disruption is expected until 22:30.”
