UPDATE - follow-up to Nissan calls for UK tariffs on Chinese car imports for EU deal - ft.com: Nissan is urging the UK government to put tariffs on Chinese car imports so the country can secure a better trade deal with the European Union.
ExplainerWhy this matters
What Happened
Nissan has asked the UK government to place tariffs on car imports coming from China to help protect its position and secure an agreement with the European Union.
Why It Matters
Car manufacturing relies heavily on international trade rules and regional agreements. Tariffs change the cost of bringing vehicles into a market, which affects how competitive different brands can be against each other.
What Happens Next
It remains to be seen how the UK government and European Union officials will respond to this request from Nissan as trade talks continue.
