NATO Ally Could Be Spared From Trump Tariffs

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said the UK could be spared from President-elect Donald Trump 's proposed tariffs plan, according to Sky News .

During an interview on Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Murphy said that he believes Trump will not include allies like Britain in his new tariff plan, but rather target other countries, saying: "If I'm China, I'm fastening my seatbelt right now."

Trump's plan, which he has pushed as a way to boost American businesses , will act as a tax on imported goods, causing American consumers to pay higher prices for them.
