It's proposed to be applied to imports into US from all countries, with an even higher rate for some like China.... so unless the US can manufacture and sell to itself it may be that Americans will still buy roughly the same level of imports in order to meet their needs.

Retaliation only works if you can have an impact. I doubt the UK would so would be pointless.
Trump does have a fondness for the UK (He is directly half British afterall not like Bidens generations back Irish) so we will have to hope he doesnt hit us too hard. But Labour and their big gobs are not going to help. someone needs to tell Lady Nugee and the Coucillor Khan to shut it.
