LONDON (Reuters) - British business minister Jonathan Reynolds said the government was hopeful that any tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump would be reversed shortly, if the two sides agree a tech-led economic deal.

Britain expects to be hit by Trump's plan to put tariffs on goods from countries across the globe this week, but the government has said it will continue to negotiate a new economic partnership to help secure exemptions after the levies come in.
