The government has ruled out rejoining the EU customs union, but the chancellor has insisted the UK wants to improve its trade relationship with \u201cpartners in Europe\u201d, given the difficulties British firms have found in exporting their products around Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Reeves is seeking to push Keir Starmer to take an ambitious approach to removing trade barriers with the union. In an interview with the Financial Times, she said the UK-EU summit on 19 May would be a chance \u201cto refresh our relationship and make it easier for businesses to trade\u201d. \u201cI feel that in the current environment, there is a greater willingness from countries around the world to look at both tariff and non-tariff barriers that are holding back trade,\u201d Reeves said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the developments, whether it is Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine or the challenges in global trade at the moment, mean that there\u2019s an even greater imperative to improve our trading relationships with Europe.\u201d Reeves said the UK could present itself as a \u201cplace of stability\u201d to invest, in the midst of the deepening trade war Trump is refusing to back down from.<\/p>\n<p>The government also confirmed it had secured a deal to build the first Universal theme park in Europe, which the prime minister said would bring \u201cgrowth, jobs and of course joy to Britain\u201d. Reeves said Comcast\u2019s decision to build the theme park in Bedfordshire showed the \u201cstrengths of our economy\u201d and was a sign of \u201cthe enduring relationship between the UK and the United States of America\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The chancellor has called for Britain to align its regulations with rules in Brussels, on established industries including chemicals, to improve market access. After the fresh wave of tariffs, the chancellor sought to ease fears about market volatility. She told MPs she had spoken to Andrew Bailey, the Bank of England governor who said \u201cmarkets are functioning effectively and that our banking system is resilient\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Reeves said she would seek to negotiate a US trade deal when she headed to Washington later this month for the IMF meeting of global finance ministers. When asked if she would have to make future tax rises or spending cuts, Reeves added: \u201cEconomic stability, fiscal stability is the key underpinning for a strong and growing economy, and thats why we are, as a government, so committed to those fiscal rules.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2025\/apr\/09\/uk-must-improve-trade-relations-with-europe-amid-us-trade-wars-warns-reeves\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/uk-must-improve-trade-relations-with-europe-amid-us-tariff-wars-warns-reeves\/\">UK must improve trade relations with Europe amid US tariff wars, warns Reeves<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,274,16394,574],"class_list":["post-138950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-tariffs","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
