Analysts have warned that the scale of disruption in global financial markets is one of the worst to be felt in decades.
The index, which tracks the country’s top 100 listed firms, dropped by about 5% in early trading on Monday as a sharp sell-off kicked in shortly after markets opened.
The panicked mood was felt across Europe, with Germany’s Dax index recording a drop of about 6.5%, and France’s Cac 40 down around 5.3% in the morning.
Overnight, Asian stocks across the board were sinking to new lows after Mr Trump said he will not back down on his sweeping import taxes unless countries even out their trade with the US.
The Prime Minister has promised to make a raft of reforms designed to provide “certainty” and “support for industry” as firms grapple with the impact of new rules from the White House.
Under new measures to be announced on Monday, rules around fines for manufacturers who do not sell enough electric cars will be relaxed, and supercar firms will be exempt.
While Sir Keir will reinstate the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, luxury carmakers like Aston Martin and McLaren will still be allowed to keep producing petrol cars beyond that deadline.
Since Mr Trump announced his financial plans on Wednesday, a 25% tariff is now applied to foreign cars imported into the US, while other products face a 10% levy.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the UK Government has had to look at its electric vehicle plans with “renewed urgency” because of the challenges facing manufacturers.
Jaguar Land Rover, one of the UK’s biggest carmakers, over the weekend announced that it would “pause” shipments to the US as it addresses the new trading rules.
Ms Alexander said the Government was not pretending its reforms to electric vehicle rules were a “silver bullet”, but that it was “part of a puzzle that we need to get right over the coming years”.
