Leanna Byrne: 作为BBC的记者，我了解到英国目前似乎避免了美国的金属关税，这得益于五月份签署的美英双边协议。该协议旨在取消特定行业的关税。虽然这对于英国出口商来说是个好消息，但这并非最终定论，英国钢铁制造商目前仍面临关税。如果美英之间的协议失败，英国的产品仍可能面临高达50%的关税。英国企业对关税政策的不确定性感到沮丧，这使得他们的计划变得困难。欧盟未被豁免关税，贸易紧张局势依然很高，欧盟正在准备报复措施。 Susan Schmidt: 作为Exchange Capital Resources的投资组合经理，我认为关税带来的不确定性影响了企业的盈利能力，导致CEO们持观望态度，暂缓招聘新员工。企业都在等待关税政策明确后再做决定，预计这种观望态度会持续到市场更加确定为止。
