GB News came to an abrupt halt for a breaking update on Labour’s reaction to President Donald Trump’s shockwave tariffs, which have caused major turmoil across global stock markets. Chancellor Rachel Reeves stepped up with a promise that the UK’s response would be measured, describing it as a “cool-headed” plan aimed at protecting British carmakers without fanning the flames.
Reeves addressed the fallout in a speech to Jaguar Land Rover workers in the West Midlands, trying to strike a tone of reassurance as market jitters continued to ripple. She made it clear Labour wasn’t interested in tit-for-tat politics. “With this government and with me as Chancellor, we have your back,” she said, trying to reassure manufacturers nervous about the impact of Trump’s sweeping trade move, reported the Express.
