00:00Mr. Speaker, we've been preparing for all eventualities ahead of the confirmation of
00:04US tariffs later today. Let me be clear with the House, a trade war is in nobody's interests
00:12and the country deserves, and we will take, a calm, pragmatic approach. That's why constructive
00:21talks are progressing to agree a wider economic prosperity deal with the US. That's why we're
00:27working with all industries and sectors likely to be impacted. Our decisions will always
00:34be guided by our national interests and that's why we have prepared for all eventualities
00:41and we will rule nothing out.
