The UK exports a relatively small amount of steel and aluminium to the US - about £700m-worth a year in total - but it is an important market.
President Donald Trump ordered the existing facility in Cuba be expanded to hold 30,000 migrants shortly after taking office in January. However, only a small number were ever actually held at the base.The Pentagon spent around $38m (£28.7m) on deportation and detention operations at Guantanamo Bay in the first month of operations this year alone, a Department of Defense official said.
But new images now show that around two-thirds of the roughly 260 tents installed as part of the operation had been removed as of 16 April.When asked about the removal of the tents, a US defence official said: "This force adjustment represents a deliberate and efficient use of resources - not a reduction in readiness."The camp began construction just a day after President Trump announced the plan, with tents going up between 30 January and 12 February. Visible construction continued until 8 March, with scattered temporary structures appearing on satellite imagery.
The construction marked a significant expansion to the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center - a facility long used to hold some migrants and distinct from the high-security military prison used to house detainees suspected by the US of terrorism offences.The photos below show a mix of around 260 green and white military tents in an area to the south-west of the overall Guantanamo Bay base on 1 April. But by 10 April many had been removed.
Subsequent lower resolution images show that as of 16 April a total of around 175 tents appeared to have been taken down.
It's unclear how many migrants remain at the facility. Stephen Miller - the White House deputy chief of staff - insisted in an interview with Fox News last week that the base remained open and that "a large number of foreign terrorist aliens" were still there.The government has recognised there are problems with under-representation in the honours and an independent chair is being recruited to improve diversity and outreach.
