, which would axe steel and aluminium tariffs but has yet to come into force, meaning UK steel exporters will face tariffs until then and could face the 50% tariff if the pact falters.The UK government said it is "committed to protecting British business and jobs", but the Conservatives said the order was a "fresh tariff blow".

The UK government spokesperson added that it will "continue to work with the US to implement our agreement, which will see the [tariffs] removed", with the legislation implementing the deal to be presented in Parliament "in due course".Trump said in the order that the UK needed "different treatment" because of the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal (ECD) signed on 8 May 2025.However, Trump later added that the US might increase the tariff on the UK "on or after July 9 2025" if it "determines that the United Kingdom has not complied with relevant aspects of the EPD".

The UK's carve-out in the executive order comes after Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds met with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Paris on Wednesday.The US is the destination for about 7% of UK steel exports, meaning any tariffs have a big impact on the industry.

"This is pure wilderness, a desert" Carlos Ibarra, the public defender for several of the detainees, told BBC Mundo. "(The migrants) continue arriving as usual, but suddenly, they face military charges. And they don't understand anything."Some of those additional charges were dismissed, with a New Mexico judge finding that military signs were not clearly marked or could be missed. But many have been convicted and pleaded guilty.

Meanwhile, the militarisation of the border will continue.Trump even recently said that he pressured Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to allow the Army to cross into the neighbouring country to conduct operations against cartels, something the president flatly rejected.
