Minister Cornered Over Labour's 'Weak' Response To Trump Tariff Chaos

Transport secretary Heidi Alexander on Good Morning Britain

Presenters repeatedly questioned the government’s “weak” response to Donald Trump’stariff chaos this morning.

The US president slapped sweeping levies on foreign goods going into the States last week.

The UK received the “base rate” of 10% on all its exports heading to America, on top of the global 25% levy the president has already put on cars and steel products.

The fallout is continuing to rock the global economy this week as markets adjust to the change.
