Summary

72% Informative

President Donald Trump has slapped a 10% tariff on all nations including the UK for imports into the US , and much higher rates on some countries, including China , which has responded with fresh tariffs of its own.

The PM is spending another dramatic weekend working the phones from the peace of his country pad, Chequers .

The government is in no rush, and has no enthusiasm to introduce its own new tariffs.

Chancellor is looking at whether any of the money announced in the Spending Review can be brought forward from June .

A decision hasn't been made but the PM is again trying to use the jeopardy around the world as an impetus to push the government machine harder.

No British action can completely insulate our economy from disruption abroad, but this could be a defining moment.
