MORE trump LOSING: UK Says It Will Not Alter Standards or Rush U.S. Trade Deal The British government is hoping to reach an agreement with the United States to soften the economic blow British businesses are facing from higher tariffs. The British government said it would not allow hormone-treated beef into Britain.Credit...Sam Bush for The New York Times By Eshe Nelson Reporting from Washington April 23, 2025Updated 2:18 p.m. ET nytimes.com Britain will not rush into a trade deal with the United States or change its food or car safety standards, Rachel Reeves, the British chancellor of the Exchequer, said in Washington on Wednesday. When asked about reports that the Trump administration wanted Britain to lower its tariffs on cars to 2.5 percent from 10 percent, Ms. Reeves said only that she wanted to reduce trade barriers between Britain and other countries. The British government has been pursuing a U.S. trade deal as it hopes to soften the economic blow that British businesses are facing from higher tariffs imposed by President Trump on goods imported into the United States. Dozens of countries have lined up to negotiate with the Trump administration, but Ms. Reeves did not give any timeline for when an agreement would be brokered. Speaking with reporters before her first in-person meeting with Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury secretary, Ms. Reeves said there were firm lines the government would not cross in its negotiations, such as changing food standards that would allow hormone-treated beef to be imported into Britain or compromising on car safety rules that protect pedestrians and cyclists. For U.S. officials, increasing exports of agricultural products and American cars has long been a sticking point in trade negotiations. “These are discussions around tariffs and trade barriers, but we are not going to be changing our standards based on asks from foreign governments,” Ms. Reeves said. “Decisions around food standards, around digital services, around auto standards are decisions for the U.K. government to make.”
