Abstract: How should UK exporters react to the tariffs imposed by President Trump? While some may start planning to increase production in the United States to avoid the tax, others whose US customers are less price-sensitive may prefer to continue producing in the UK. Catherine Thomas writes that, either way, firms' first step to managing the impact is finding the right initial price response.
