00:00Well this is clearly very disappointing news overnight.
00:04America's our closest ally and we need to have a very strong relationship with them.
00:09I desperately need the Prime Minister to engage better than he has been doing
00:13and certainly better than his predecessor with the US President
00:17to ensure we've got a stronger relationship as possible.
00:20Clearly we've also said that tariffs are wrong.
00:25We don't believe this is the right thing to happen to our country
00:28and to our businesses. Tariffs have a negative impact by the way
00:32on businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.
00:35So we don't believe this is good for anybody
00:37and we hope that they will be relieved soon.
