U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that although Britain was "out of line" when it came to trade he thought it may be able to avoid tariffs, adding of the imbalance: "I think that one can be worked out".

Donald Trump has been unclear about whether he will impose tariffs on the UK but economists warn there are still ways Britain could be negatively affected by the president's wider trade policies even if it avoids being hit directly.

President Donald Trump's move to impose or threaten massive tariffs against China, Mexico, Canada and the European Union affect about $2 trillion worth of U.S. imports and have the potential to disrupt business for major Cincinnati companies that rely on foreign goods or that sell goods overseas.
