Starmer vows UK won’t be cowed by Trump’s tariffs

Sir Kier Starmer has stressed that Britain does not want to get into a trade war with the US.

During a visit to the Jaguar Land Rover factory in Solihull on Monday, 7th April, the PM reassured the public that talks would continue with the US to alleviate the situation.
