Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what representations the Government has made to the (a) White House and (b) US Department of Commerce on the imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to the US.

The Government has and will continue to make representations to the US Administration, at the highest levels on the proposed tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. The Prime Minister raised the UK's concerns personally with President Trump on 4 March.

The Government has made clear that it does not support these tariffs and is working closely with affected UK businesses and will continue to do so.
