Aline Doussin, partner and head of Hogan Lovells’ International Trade team in London, appeared on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe to discuss the potential impact of proposed tariffs by newly-elected U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. With proposed tariffs reaching up to 60% on goods from China and 20% on other imports, Doussin addressed possible repercussions on the EU and the U.K. economy, noting that sectors like automotive could be particularly vulnerable.

Doussin emphasised that much remains uncertain regarding the scale and focus of these tariffs but highlighted the EU's potential response, referencing prior retaliatory measures. She added that the U.K., post-Brexit, might have flexibility in its approach to trade with the U.S.
