Answered by Chris Bryant
Through negotiations on the Economic Prosperity Deal, the UK is the only country to have achieved a 10% tariff for autos within quota and a 0% tariff for pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, in April, President Trump announced the removal of tariffs on UK whisky, which is worth around £1bn in exports.
