Trump tariffs torch Rachel Reeves’s fiscal plans

Within hours of the Spring Statement yesterday, the Government was left scrambling to negotiate with the US as President Trump introduced a whopping 25% tariff on all car imports - including from Britain.

The news comes during a busy time for the White House, which is already dealing with the fall out from those leaked Signal messages. So, as the shock of his second election victory subsides and the world settles in for another tumultuous four years, how do we live with President Trump?

Cleo Watson and Tim Stanley are joined by Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for UnHerd magazine, to unpack the latest news from across the pond. 

Plus, Kamal is at a major leadership event in Cornwall, speaking to Kemi Badenoch about Trump’s latest tariffs, as she warns of a possible trade war and the impact of net zero.
