United Kingdom government

The U.S. Embassy in London has issued a security alert warning American citizens in the United Kingdom about a suspected terror plot. The advisory urges Americans to remain vigilant and follow guidance from local authorities. Details about the suspected plot, including who is believed to be involved, have not been made public, and U.K. officials have not yet commented in detail.

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.
