ANALYSIS on Trump’s actions over the past 24 hours. This very good from @IanKingSky > Trump has finally blinked but it’s not the stock marked that have forced him to act https://t.co/Bs0TOyDhUg

RT @SkyNews: A new Universal theme park in Bedfordshire has been confirmed on what Sir Keir Starmer hailed as a "momentous" day for the UK…

To be clear - there is no immediate change for the UK, which will still face tariffs of 25% on cars & 10% on other imports. Pause is for those countries facing those higher level of reciprocal tariffs as Trump offers prospect for more favourable deals after some got "yippy"

BREAK: No10 spokesperson “A trade war is in nobody’s interests. We don't want any tariffs at all, so for jobs and livelihoods across the U.K, we will coolly and calmly continue to negotiate in Britain’s interests.”

No 10 source: Pause on those who didn't retaliate shows 'cool & calm can pay off". 'This how PM does biz & right approach. He's been urging it in all his calls & will continue too'. No 10 understanding - no immediate change for UK: 25% on cars & 10% on other imports still stands

Why did you do a 90-day pause on tariffs. Trump: "People getting a bit yippy and a little bit afraid" > Seems to me an admission there that the market turmoil out of control and he had to wind it back in

Trump's team already positioning this as part of his masterplan, many others will say Trump blinked amid market turmoil, business opposition, risk of recession. Whatever the spin, what clear is Trump caused chaos in markets & that hits Main Street's pension funds & confidence

Interesting this. Trade war raises Qs on whether govt’ll have to tax more, spend less, borrow more. PM ducked Q from me on this last wk (said only we’re in ‘new economic era’) & didn’t answer directly when @SamCoatesSky tried to pin him earlier in the week. Now he makes it clear

The prime minister has just told me that the chancellor’s fiscal rules are “iron clad and here to stay”, that “they won’t be changed”. This is his response to contagion from the shocking Trump-induced fall in US government bond prices, which has seen the interest rate for UK
