BusinessUK Goods Exports to US Plunge 25 Percent Following Trump Tariff Blitz
UK Office for National Statistics data shows goods exports to the US fell approximately 24.7 percent since Trump implemented tariffs last year. Meanwhile, US exports to the UK continued to grow, pushing the UK into a trade deficit with its largest trading partner.
The UK Office for National Statistics released a report on May 1st showing that UK exports of goods to the United States fell by approximately 24.7%.
This is equivalent to a decline in export value of approximately 1.5 billion British pounds.
Since Trump announced so-called Liberation Day tariffs last April, UK automobile exports have remained consistently sluggish.
Meanwhile, US imports to the UK increased in early 2026, leading to the UK experiencing a trade deficit with the US for three consecutive months.
Exporters face triple pressure from tariffs, rising labor costs, and raw material price pressures.
A survey shows that approximately 33% of UK export enterprises report being impacted by US tariffs.
Currently, UK-US trade negotiations continue, with steel tariffs already being cancelled under a partial agreement framework.
