The U.S. administration is planning to unveil so-called reciprocal tariffs on trading partners Wednesday, dubbed “Liberation Day” by President Donald Trump.

Two U.K. officials refused to rule that out when approached by POLITICO on Tuesday. But hopes have faded that the U.K. will be able to secure carve-outs before the tariffs take effect.
