United Kingdom government

The European Union is calling on the United Kingdom to raise its tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Brussels has imposed duties on Chinese EVs to counter what it views as unfair subsidies, and it wants London to align with that approach. The appeal puts pressure on the UK government, which has so far kept its own trade policy on Chinese car imports separate from the EU's, raising questions about post-Brexit divergence in trade policy.

The United Kingdom has issued its national statement at the United Nations Crime Congress, setting out its position on international efforts to combat crime. The government published the statement on GOV.UK. The exact contents and reactions are not detailed in available coverage, and no comment from other member states has been reported yet.
