In my latest for @FTAlphaville, I discuss why the new Trump tariff measures are a recipe for … crime!

Who could have predicted this? Incoming Section 301 tariffs on EU will add up, roughly, to 15% - as was the case previously. But there's another 301 probe coming along soon. So what then? Reactions and analysis w/ @berndlange and @SamuelMarcLowe https://t.co/dMBERLfBFy

The UK risks being the biggest loser from Trump’s new 15% global tariff

“We have no clarity on whether the 10% tariff agreed will be honoured… until and unless the US gives a steer, we’ve got to assume it’s 15%,” says @SamuelMarcLowe

[AIC | Agricultural Industries Confederation @agindustriesUK]

We’ve just heard from Sam Lowe of @FlintGlobal , who unpacked the global trends and trade policy interventions reshaping our industry.

His personable and insightful delivery highlighted several key considerations for UK agriculture including:

🟣 Increasing complexity of tariffs and origin rules
🟣 Monitoring of trade flows
🟣 Gradual UK-EU negotiations
🟣 Competitive positioning from new EU trade deals
🟣 Early introduction of EU’s CBAM

These developments present both challenges and opportunities for the sector as we navigate an evolving global trade landscape.

Chatting trade with @SamuelMarcLowe at the absolutely popping @FlintGlobal Brussels anniversary party.

Very often, navigating global trade is a case of listening to the right people - there are few better to listen to than Sam!

@ManxCat637 Haha — thank you

[ManxCat637 @ManxCat637]

Hah! FAFO...

Sam Lowe really does do a good job of making these things not just accessible, but (improbably) entertaining too.

A "simple" example from @SamuelMarcLowe of how ridiculously complex the US tariff system has become in just the last few months:
