<p>We are working closely with affected companies across the UK steel industry to
fully evaluate the impact of these measures on the UK. The total value of US imports
of steel from the UK in 2017 was £360m which amounts to 7% of UK steel exports.</p><p>
</p><p>We remain deeply disappointed that the US has decided to apply tariffs to steel
and aluminium imports from the EU on national security grounds. The UK and other European
Union countries are close allies of the US and should be permanently and fully exempted
from the tariffs.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to work closely with the EU and US
Administration to seek a constructive, permanent resolution to avoid further escalation
that would harm businesses and consumers in both the US and EU.</p>
