Keir Starmer promised Donald Trump’s “British brightness” for promised to implement “brave changes” to the electric car industry after the sweep tariffs of Donald Trump.
The government will ensure that the United States shook the global economy last week, according to the Prime Minister, “at home -raised companies can export British cars”.
The Prime Minister said that global trade is “transformed” and “businesses need an increasing government”.
Starmer explained the first of a series of interventions this week.
“This will help companies grown at home to export British cars built by British workers around the world and they will be able to return with industry safely and proudly.”
On Monday, 2030 new gasoline and diesel cars bring back the ban, while arrangement around the production targets on electric vehicles will be changed to help transition.
Since the original 2030 was pushed back to 2035 by the rush government of Rishi, this is a line with one of the Labor Party’s election commitments.
However, the party was allegedly planning to explain the changes in the summer and now brought the strategy forward in response to Trump.
Some luxury companies such as Aston Martin and McLaren will be able to produce gasoline cars after the cutting date, because while producing very few cars a year, hybrids will be allowed until 2035.
The worker also plans to make it easier for companies that do not meet the sales targets forced by the state to avoid fines.
Meanwhile, the entire industry will be examined until Trump’s tariffs are fully realized.
Transportation Secretary Heidi Alexander said that these plans would make England a global automotive leader in the transition to homes ”.
Comes after PM induced In the market telegram, the world is gone as we know ”, Treasury Chief Secretary Darren Jones BBC This globalization is now “ends”.
Last week, Trump announced a 25% tariff for foreign cars imported to the United States before advertising 10% more tax on other British goods.
England escaped from the Tariff Storm with one of the lowest rates announced by the White House in more than 60 countries – but it was still far from the exemption of the Starmer government.
Jaguar Land Rover announced that they will “pause” the US shipments as a new import tax at the weekend.
Shaun Spiers, General Manager of Green Alliance, welcomed the news. HuffPost told UK: “The future of the UK automobile industry must be electric – or not one.
“The government is important to admit that China and other countries are moving in home production, but the right to quickly move to protect the UK automobile industry in the face of US tariffs.
“In the long run, these changes in pro -growth arrangements are at risk of preventing competition, and for families working, prices increase by locking the dependence on expensive gasoline vehicles.
“The only permanent solution is the government’s determination of an open industrial strategy based on climatic action to protect England.”
Liberal Democratic Transportation Spokesman Paul Kohler also supported Starmer’s statement and said that it was right to take urgent steps to support the automobile industry and the transition to electric vehicles ”.
However, he warned: “This will not be enough to protect the sector from the effect of Trump’s damaging tariffs.”
The authority called on the government to discover the government to explore “better incentives for consumers to purchase electric vehicles for public charging, including VAT deductions and to postpone the planned increase in vehicle tax on electric cars”.
Lib Dem, PM, said, “For a response to Trump’s trade, he should work closer to European allies. [war]Including possible retaliation tariffs when necessary ”and call for bureaucracy for the export of car exports to Europe.
In the meantime, the Conservative Andrew Griffith, the Shadow Trade Secretary, said: “This’ Red Bull’s’ Red ED ‘. Even though the government has made a U -turn, they shoot at half cylinders when it is necessary to support our car producers.”
He claimed that Labour’s industrial strategy is still “stuck on the grill” and ır weaken its competitiveness with higher taxes ”.
Griffith claimed: “This announcement will not reclaim the damage caused by the Workers’ Government – the automobile industry will be hit with a tax of £ 200 million, cannot be prepared for tariffs, and every employee makes the household’s employment bill that will take us back to the 1970s.
“As Kemi Badenoch clarified, it is impossible until 2050. This would serve England well if it was the starting point of Labour rather than these semi -cooked announcements that would not make any difference.”
Starmer also spoke to most of his international colleagues affected by tariffs during the weekend and reiterated his disappointment with taxes.
