Jaguar Land Rover has announced it will “pause” all shipments to the US as it works to “address the new trading terms” after tariffs were imposed earlier this week.

A 25% levy on car imports came into force on Thursday, one of several measures announced by US President Donald Trump which have sent shockwaves through global supply chains.

The US is the second largest export market for the UK’s car industry, after the European Union.

In a statement, a Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson said the company was “taking some short-term actions including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid to longer-term plans”.

The Coventry-based car manufacturer – which also has sites in Solihull and Wolverhampton – said the US is an “important market for JLR’s luxury brands”.

More cars are exported to the US from the UK than any other goods. In a 12-month period up to the end of the third quarter of 2024, the trade was worth £8.3bn, according to the UK trade department.

An initial wave of tariffs on cars came into effect from 3 April, with import taxes on auto parts due to follow next month.

Car maker Nissan is thinking about moving some of its production of US-bound vehicles from Japan to the US as early as this summer, financial newspaper Nikkei has reported.

Earlier this week Nissan said it would keep two production shifts at its plant in Tennessee, after announcing plans to scale back operations there in January.

Meanwhile, carmaker Stellantis has said it will temporarily shut down its assembly plant in Windsor, a Canadian city on the US border, next week due to the new tariffs.

The United Auto Workers union – which represents those working in car manufacturing in the United States and southern Ontario, Canada – has applauded the introduction of tariffs, saying the move “signals a return to policies that prioritise the workers who build this country, rather than the greed of ruthless corporations”

A separate 10% tariff will be imposed on all other UK imports, with higher rates in place for some other major economies.

Global stock markets have incurred heavy losses in recent days as firms grapple with how to adapt to the new trading environment.

The FTSE 100 – which measures the performance of the 100 leading firms listed on the London Stock Exchange – plummeted by 4.9% on Friday, its steepest fall since the start of the pandemic.

Exchanges in Germany and France also saw similar declines.

Sir Keir Starmer has said the UK will take a calm approach to the trade tariffs and has ruled out “jumping into a trade war”.

He warned “the world as we knew it has gone” but said he was prepared to use industrial policy to “shelter British business from the storm”.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Sir Keir said he will continue to seek a trade deal with the US to avoid some tariffs, but mooted state intervention to protect the national interest.

Sir Keir is holding talks with other European leaders to discuss how to respond to the White House’s trade moves.

The prime minister spoke to his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, the first of several discussions planned between Sir Keir and European leaders over the weekend.

Downing Street said Sir Keir and Macron had agreed “a trade war was in nobody’s interest” but “nothing should be off the table”.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has been criticised by senior politicians across the political spectrum after she backed Israel’s decision to deny two UK Labour MPs entry to the country.

Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang say were on a trip to visit the occupied West Bank to “witness, first-hand, the situation” and were “astounded” after being stopped at the airport.

Badenoch told the BBC that Israel had a right to “control its borders”, adding it was “very significant” there were Labour MPs other countries did not want to let in.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said her comments were “disgraceful” while Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said she had shown “unbelievably poor judgement”.

Senior Tory MP Richard Fuller told Times Radio he thought MPs on officials trips should be “welcomed in any country”, adding “we should all be very worried” about democracy.

Yang, the MP for Earley and Woodley, and Mohamed, the MP for Sheffield Central, flew to Israel from London Luton Airport with two aides on Saturday afternoon.

The Israeli immigration authority said Interior Minister Moshe Arbel denied entry to all four passengers after they were questioned. It accused them of travelling to “document the security forces”.

Badenoch first made her comments when asked on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show whether Israel was entitled to refuse entry to the MPs.

“Countries should be able to control their borders,” she said. “What I think is shocking is that we have MPs in Labour who other countries will not allow through, I think that’s very significant…

“I believe that the people who represent us in Parliament should be people who should be able to go anywhere in the world and people not be worried about what they’re going to do when they go into those countries.”

Badenoch said the reason given by the Israelis was that “they don’t believe that they’re going to comply with their laws” and “there are many people that we don’t allow into our country and I don’t think we should be setting precedents in a different way”.

Tagging a video of the Conservative leader’s comments on X, Lammy posted: “It’s disgraceful you are cheerleading another country for detaining and deporting two British MPs.

“Do you say the same about Tory MPs banned from China?

“This government will continue to stand up for the rights of our MPs to speak their mind, whatever their party.”

Reposting the criticism, Badenoch said: “Unlike China, Israel is our ally and a democracy. A good Foreign Sec would be able to make that distinction.

“Perhaps Labour MPs could put UK national interest first and do their jobs instead of campaigning for airports in Kashmir or promoting Hamas propaganda in parliament.”

Further criticism came from Davey on X, who posted: “Kemi Badenoch has once again shown unbelievably poor judgement by failing to back two British MPs denied entry to Israel.

“Yet another complete shocker.”

Foreign Affairs Committee chairwoman Dame Emily Thornberry told Sky News she was “completely gobsmacked” by Badenoch’s comments.

“This is nonsense,” the Labour MP said. “You have to stand up for what’s right, Kemi Badenoch, and you should stand in solidarity with other parliamentarians who were just going to Israel and the West Bank to find out what was going on.”

Badenoch was also contradicted by Tory MP Fuller, who told LBC that Conservative MPs had experienced similar issues in China and he wanted to support the right to travel to other countries.

“I want to support my colleagues,” said Fuller. “This isn’t a partisan thing, as a parliamentarian, we live in a difficult world at the moment.

“Democracies are under threat, we should support them in those circumstances, whether China, Israel, or anywhere…

“On this, my personal view is, parliamentarians should be allowed free passage to other countries, to our allies. We should look at that in a poor light. We should be supporting them.”

Fuller spoke about his boss again on Times Radio, saying he thought MPs on official trips are “going there to be better informed about the situation and then report back to their parliamentary colleagues about what they have found”.

“Democracy isn’t a guarantee in life,” he said. “Freedom isn’t guaranteed.”

Officers hunting for an XL Bully which escaped when police marksmen opened fire on the animal say they have contacted all veterinary practices in Sheffield in a bid to trace it.

Armed police tried to shoot the dog after it became “aggressive” while officers were investigating reports of a gun being fired at a property in Daniel Hill Street, in Hillfoot, on Thursday.

A police spokesperson said it was believed the animal had been injured before fleeing the scene.

The force has urged people not to approach the dog but to call 999 immediately, saying it has “the ability to show aggression and cause harm”.

A police spokesperson said: “Shooting a dog is never a decision taken lightly by our armed officers.

“During what was already a challenging incident, and the risk posed, the decision was made to shoot the dog to progress finding a suspect and weapon and protecting our communities.

“We now believe the dog to have suffered injuries and are urging the public to be vigilant for a loose XL Bully, but also one that may have succumbed to its injuries or been taken somewhere for treatment.

“We have contacted all veterinary practices as part of our enquiries but continue to ask anyone who has received a dog into their care [which] they believe could be this dog to come forward.

“If you see the dog, we continue to urge you not to approach it, as we believe it has the ability to show aggression and cause harm.”

South Yorkshire Police were called to Daniel Hill Street on Thursday night after shots were fired at a house and the windows of a car were smashed.

A few hours later, in the early hours of Friday, officers attended a crash involving a motorbike and a silver VW Golf in Liberty Drive, Stannington, after receiving reports shots had been fired at a man.

The force said 39-year-old Marcus Ned, from Sheffield, had since been charged in connection with the incidents and was due to appear at the city’s magistrates’ court on Monday.

He faces two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition without a certificate and attempt to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.

A 39-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and a 36-year-old man arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle have been released on bail.

Meanwhile, police said a 35-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of affray and released on police bail.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones said the era of globalisation has “ended” following Donald Trump’s new tariffs.

It comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer suggested in a Sunday Telegraph article he was about to announce state intervention to protect UK firms from the US president’s move. The UK was among nations hit with a 10% “baseline” import duty, and negotiations on a trade deal to reduce tariffs are continuing.

“Globalisation as we’ve known it for the last couple of decades has come to an end,” Jones added, in a BBC interview.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch disagreed that globalisation was over and pointed to “great” trading relationships with other countries.

There are fears of a global recession following President Trump’s “Liberation Day”, when he announced sweeping import taxes, sparking retaliatory action from countries including China and Canada.

The prime minister has said the government “will do everything necessary to protect Britain’s national interest” and is “ready to use industrial policy” to help shelter businesses, because “the world as we know it has gone”.

Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show, Jones was asked whether globalisation – which has resulted in a boom in imports of cheap fashion, electrical goods and other products – was over.

“Yeah it’s ended, the prime minister said that himself this morning,” he said.

The change meant the UK had to “build out” relationships with allies around the world but also invest in the UK’s own economy, Jones said, denying ministers were “scrabbling” for solutions.

He insisted the government was “trying to get ahead of these challenges” , which he said were “why we have to invest in the domestic economy, both for UK businesses, but also our public services… which is why our plan for change is investing in the NHS and skills as well as industrial policy.”

Amid reports both elements of the spending review and the industrial strategy could now be brought forward from their expected June publication date, he said Labour had been working on the industrial strategy since it was in opposition.

Pressed on whether they would be brought forward, Jones deferred to Sir Keir’s announcement expected in the coming days and laughed when Laura Kuenssberg said “that sounds almost like a yes but you’re not allowed to say it to us this morning”.

The UK government is continuing its policy of not responding with counter-tariffs, as other countries have done, preferring a “calm” approach focused on a UK-US trade deal.

“We’re hoping to do a deal,” Jones said, adding on tariffs that “we have a better outcome than other comparable countries as a consequence of our diplomacy”.

The Liberal Democrats have called for MPs to be allowed to vote on any deal struck with Trump due to concerns about the possibility of changes to regulations around farming, online content and the digital services tax on US social media giants.

The party’s deputy leader Daisy Cooper said it would be “deeply undemocratic” to sideline Parliament on these “critical” issues.

She said: “Both Conservative and Labour MPs should commit now to voting down any Trump deal that sells out British farmers and their high food standards or waters down our online safety rules.”

Asked to rule out watering down the Online Safety Act, Labour’s Jone said protections for children are “non-negotiable” and committed to ensuring that social media platforms are “designed in a way that protects children from harm”.

Environment Secretary Steve Reed has previously said “we won’t undercut British farmers on welfare or environmental standards” in order to secure a US trade deal.

However, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has previously suggested the UK could change its taxes on big tech firms as part of a deal to overturn US tariffs, despite the digital services tax bringing in about £800m per year since its introduction in 2020.

Speaking on the Kuenssberg show, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch agreed that retaliatory tariffs were not a solution because they would only harm UK consumers.

However, she told Kuenssberg she did not agree globalisation was over, insisting what was happening was only “fragmentation” and that “we still have a great trading relationship with many other countries”.

Badenoch added the Labour government should pick up the deal former Prime Minister Boris Johnson had tried to negotiate with Trump during his previous presidency, which ended in 2020.

Kuenssberg asked whether the deal was “oven-ready”, as she had claimed several times, and Badenoch suggested the government “should “pick up where we left off”, following former president Joe Biden’s decision to dump the deal.

“We had six rounds of negotiations where there were some decisions that were concluded and they can pick that up and take it,” she said.

“The most important thing is removing tariffs – the tariffs are going to be disruptive for our businesses…

“That is going to make a whole mess of the tax take that [chancellor] Rachel Reeves thought she was going to be getting in her budget.

“We are in a worse place now because of the decisions that Labour has made and people out there are suffering.”
