This discussion will focus on:
- What is the relationship between the previous Administration's imposed tariffs on EU steel product and the EU retaliatory imposition of duties on various US products, what compromising exemption policy is proposed?
- Will the US SME’s receive any benefits in export sales concerning the GASSA policy for Green Steel and Aluminum against other global competitors?

Creating a Rationale: An Analysis of the UK’s MoU Initiative with US States
March 22, 2024
BritishAmerican Business released a report offering a comprehensive analysis of the UK government’s state-level trade and investment strategy with the US. The report follows last week’s signing of the eighth trade pact, with the state of Texas.
Over the past two years, amidst stalled negotiations for a US-UK Free Trade Agreement, the UK has pursued enhanced economic collaboration with the US through a series of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed with individual states. To-date the UK has signed eight trade pacts with Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington State, Florida, and Texas.
BAB’s report offers a deep dive into the structure and objectives of each MoU as well as examining the areas and industries of focus, mechanisms for implementation and how progress will be monitored.
The paper argues that, while recent activities initiated by the MoU process suggest that things are going in the right direction, it’s now time to do the hard work to continue to deliver on the many ambitious commitments set out in the agreements.
In its report, BAB commends the UK government for its proactive approach to strengthening trade and economic ties with the US and welcomes recent agreements with economically significant states such as Florida and Texas. BAB would rather see a handful of agreements with larger states than dozens of agreements with smaller states that lack the required focus.

With the equities market for trucking stocks reeling this week on the backs of two companies’ highly bearish disclosures, one question loomed large on the FreightWaves State of Freight webinar: Are we getting near the bottom?
FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller and the head of market research for FreightWaves’ SONAR data dashboard, Zach Strickland, were mostly optimistic that the answer might be yes.
