No one pretends that tariffs are good news, but it's about seizing the opportunity. This is what British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says about Donald Trump's trade tariffs.
Our government will not just lean back and hope for the best, he says.
We must act. We cannot just let ourselves be crushed, he says without exactly specifying what the government will do, except to promise on a direct question not to raise VAT or income tax.
Starmer held his press conference at one of Jaguar Land Rover's factories in the Midlands. The car manufacturer announced over the weekend that it would pause its deliveries to the US in April due to the new trade tariffs.
25 percent tariffs on cars and 10 percent on other goods are a major challenge for our future, says Starmer.
