A British manufacturer that makes Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam toys has said trading with the US remains “uncertain” after it paused shipping Chinese-made products to the country because of Donald Trump’s tariffs.

London-listed Character Group said on Friday that it had put shipments from China to the US “on hold” in April after the White House announced hefty levies for imports of Chinese-made goods.
