I have a mad hope that Trump will find this really annoying and take it as a personal snub and lash out with a resumption and in fact expansion of US support for Ukraine.

Trump cites dairy tariffs of 250% but doesn't mention they "only kick in after the US has hit a certain, Trump-negotiated quantity of zero-tariff sales to Canada."
"The US is not currently filling its zero-tariff sales quota in any category of dairy product, so the tariffs aren’t being applied."

Not a big surprise, the UK and the EU don't have the same incentives here. UK is less affected, has less power to hurt US interests and still has reasonable hopes that it can avoid reciprocal tariffs.
The UK is not emulating the EU in retaliating against the US. This means that tariff differentials on the products affected will widen significantly.
That could affect trade flows, and have big implications for Northern Ireland in particular.
