GB News: Elon Musk’s Tesla could face UK electric car tariffs as Labour considers retaliation to US sanctions
Labour has been urged to impose tariffs on Tesla's electric vehicles in response to new US steel import tariffs. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey suggested this during Prime Minister Questions, highlighting potential impacts on the UK industrial sector and emphasizing the need for a strong negotiating position against the US.
Tesla's sales have declined significantly, with UK registrations dropping nearly eight percent. Davey warned that the proposed tariffs would send a clear message to Elon Musk and could end Tesla's dominance in the UK EV market. Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged the importance of British steel and the need for careful assessment of the situation.
