Key update: factoring in tariffs on intermediate inputs nearly wipes out any terms-of-trade gains from reciprocal tariffs and greatly amplifies the cost of retaliation for the US economy.

Should the UK retaliate if Trump imposes tariffs?
Economic case for retaliation is weak, but the political case is harder to judge. Hinges on whether you think retaliating creates leverage for future negotiations
Overall, a tough decision and I could see it going either way

The EU remains the UK's largest trading partner, especially when it comes to goods.
We buy over half of all of our goods imports (£318 billion) from the EU and sell them a little less than half our goods exports (£186 billion).

I think many would agree that today it’s key to understand the price impact of tariffs.
We show average import prices rose and lowered consumers’ real income in the UK from higher chances of tariffs due to Brexit.
I wouldn’t be shocked if the same is happening in the US now.

We reflect on the UK's trade landscape post-Brexit and Covid - e.g. that exports of some highly regulated professional services – like accounting & tax, engineering, and legal – are growing slower than the average service sector.
