13 Mar 2019 --- After UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal faced a second overwhelming rejection in the House of Commons last night, UK MPs will vote later today on whether to block the UK from leaving the EU without a deal on March 29. In an announcement this morning, the UK Government has said it will cut tariffs on a range of imports from outside the EU and introduce measures to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland in a no-deal scenario. If the UK does leave without a deal, the government has pledged to set the majority of import tariffs to zero while maintaining tariffs for the most sensitive industries within the food, beverage and agricultural space.
