This is happening because the EU was found to have broken world trade laws in giving state aid to one of its companies - Airbus. The UK does not and will not break international trade laws, so once we control them again, the US would not be able to impose punitive tariffs on us.

But, why are the US hitting a Scottish product, if their truck is with (what I believe is predominantly) a Franco/German company?
Genuine question; wouldn't the US be better off tariffing things that are produced and exported by those countries, especially when relations with the UK are at a very delicate time?
Is it about teaching the UK a lesson; the US will persecute the UK if it stays kosha with EU? Does UK really want to submit to such a partnership?
