India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
 
                            The United Kingdom and the European Union have reached a joint steel trade agreement aimed at countering China’s market-distorting tariffs and ensuring fair competition in the global steel industry.
The pact will coordinate tariff measures, trade monitoring, and export policies between the two economies, marking a rare alignment of post-Brexit trade policy. Officials say the move is designed to protect European and British steel producers from the surge of cheap, subsidized imports that have disrupted global steel prices.
Under the agreement, both sides will collaborate on anti-dumping investigations, carbon border measures, and green steel investments to create a more resilient transatlantic supply chain.
The deal also strengthens Europe and the UK’s position in WTO trade negotiations, signaling a unified stance against China’s steel overcapacity and its impact on global markets.
Analysts view the pact as a strategic and symbolic step, reflecting the West’s growing efforts to defend its industrial base while transitioning toward low-carbon steel production.
The cooperation could set a precedent for future joint trade actions between the UK and EU in other critical sectors.
