Soumaya Keynes retweeted
In this week's column I wrote about one frontier of today's trade wars: the UK car market. With charts.
The EU's share of UK imports has dropped quite a lot since the pandemic/Brexit.

Was great to appear on the @ExigerLLC podcast to talk about How to Win a Trade War!
What do olive oil, lipstick, and t-shirts have in common? They're on the front lines of the global trade war.
@Soumayaas — economics columnist at the @FinancialTimes, host of The Economics Show, and co-author of How to Win a Trade War — spent eight years covering trade at @EconUS and started her career at the UK Treasury.
She joins Kit Conklin on Exiger Exchange to trace how everyday products move through extraordinary supply chains, and what that reveals about who really holds leverage.
From tariffs and export controls to transshipment and rules of origin, hear why the rules of trade are being rewritten in real time, and why the companies paying attention now will dominate for decades.
