Nissan says its car plant in Sunderland will be at risk if it has to pay tariffs on vehicles exported from the UK to the EU. The governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, has told banks they need to prepare for the possibility that there will be no deal. It is something of an understatement to say that the talks between London and Brussels are not going well.

This article talks about Britain's plan to place tariffs on other European countries after her withdrawal form EU. Nissan is already complaining of the risk if they have to pay tariff for the exportation of their cars from Sunderland in Britain to other European countries. This will actually cause the increase in Nissan's car prices and other exports from Britain to other European countries causing a fall in demand. There will also be a fall in supply due to the increase in the cost of production.
