Sat, 05 Apr 2025 Jaguar Land Rover to pause US shipments over tariffs

The British firm say no vehicles will be shipped in April as it processes the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs.

* Jaguar Land Rover has paused all shipments to the US due to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump
* The UK's car industry, which includes JLR, is heavily reliant on exports to the US, with £8.3bn worth of trade in a 12-month period up to Q3 2024
* The US has imposed a 25% tariff on car imports from the UK, while the UK is set to impose a separate 10% tariff on all other UK imports (with higher rates for some major economies)
* Global stock markets have incurred heavy losses in recent days due to the new trading environment
* Sir Keir Starmer has taken a calm approach to the trade tariffs and ruled out "jumping into a trade war", but said nothing should be off the table
* Talks between UK and US officials continue on a possible trade deal that could see tariffs relaxed
* The government is consulting on products it could impose retaliatory measures on
