Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy look at the day ahead in British politics.
Overnight, President Trump decided paused tariffs on Canada and Mexico but pressed ahead with imposing them on China. They've retaliated by putting imports on American gas, coal, oil and farming equipment.
But will be the consequences for the UK? Sam and Anne discuss how the UK maps outs its position and asks if the UK could come out on top of this global shootout thanks to Brexit and if a limited US trade deal could be on the card within months.
Meanwhile, could this be the start of a new era of three party politics as Reform come out on-top of YouGov poll for the first time.
