British automobile companies will have a meeting with the government today to discuss United States President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on foreign-made cars, BBC reported on Friday.

According to sources familiar with the matter, London is seeking to find a way to negotiate some exemptions from Washington's duties and, therefore, is not pushing to introduce countermeasures right away. However, some carmakers find it too late for the tariffs to be delayed and want the government to come up with some manner of support.

Vehicles are Britain's number-one export to the US, with the figure reaching 101,000 units in the value of £9 billion in 2024.
