Following the announcement of new tariffs by the USA, I’ve been engaging with businesses across Worcestershire about the potential impacts on international trade and the global economy.
As a former International Trade minister I am well aware how complex global supply chains can be.
Many local companies export to or are deeply connected to international markets, and there is understandable concern about the shift towards protectionism and higher tariffs.
I want to make sure the concerns of my constituents and Worcestershire businesses are heard and understood by ministers. So please get in touch with me if these issues affect you and I will endeavour to make appropriate representations on your behalf.
