00:00We've engaged on a potential way through this because that's in the UK is national interest
00:04I believe the existing trade between the US and the UK is a fair and strong and balanced relationship
00:09I think we can actually make that better not just avoid negative consequences. So look tomorrow is not a deadline
00:15It doesn't rule out us reaching agreement
00:18And I feel the position that we have put the UK in is that it gives us the maximum
00:22opportunity to do what is necessary for UK businesses and investors and
00:26Make sure we've got the potential to reach agreement if that is indeed what the US wants to do
00:31So I don't lose any country in the world that's better placed than us. But of course, this is challenging
00:35I would want us to be in a position where there are not additional tariffs put in place between the UK and the US
