(Alliance News) - Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC is "continuously" looking at its operation options, a spokesperson for the jet engine maker said, in the face of possible tariffs by the Donald Trump administration.

In its annual report, the company had said tariffs in global trade "could lead to increased costs and consequentially realign the global supply chain".

In the US, the FTSE 100 listing employs around 6,000 people with "significant operations in 27 states", according to its website.

A spokesperson for Rolls-Royce said on Sunday: "We have additional capacity within some of our US operations and continuously seek to explore options to ensure that our global internal supply chain is optimised for delivery to customers in the US."

The Telegraph had reported on Sunday that Rolls-Royce is looking at how to reduce the hit from US tariffs, with plans to ramp-up hiring and expanding operations in the nation among its options.

The Trump administration in the US is set to update on tariffs next month. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said there will be "big announcements when it comes to reciprocal trade" on April 2.
