UK says in 'relatively better position" than EU on tariffs

Britain is "in a relatively better position" than the European Union, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a lower tariff on the UK than its neighbor.

"I recognize the announcements by the president last night put the UK in a relatively better position than, for instance, the EU," Reynolds told Sky News, adding, however, that its 10 percent levy was "a disappointment."
