But Trump said it could be different for the UK.

On the question, firstly of tariffs, obviously, it’s early days, and I think what’s really important is open and strong trading relations, and that’s been the basis of my discussions with President Trump.

And I know that intense US-EU discussions are planned.

Starmer also said the UK has a huge amount of trade with both the US and the EU.  He also played down significance of Trump’s tarrif announcements, saying it is ‘early days’ and ope trade important.
