00:00Well, I think these tariffs are bad news for the UK economy.
00:03It's bad for growth, bad for jobs.
00:05It's bad for the global economy as well,
00:07because free trade is the foundation of global prosperity.
00:11Well, the global implications are worrying,
00:13because as a free trade is the foundation of our prosperity.
00:16So I'm deeply concerned about this.
00:18The government need to get on and negotiate
00:20a tariff-free free trade agreement with the USA.
00:23They should have started that back in November
00:25when Donald Trump was first elected,
00:27but they were very, very slow.
