Chancellor Rachel Reeves appeared before the Treasury Select Committee on Wednesday (House of Commons/UK Parliament/PA) - (PA Wire)

The UK will make “strong representations” to Donald Trump about plans for tariffs which could hit British economic growth, Rachel Reeves said.

The Chancellor added she is not “sanguine” about the president-elect’s plans, but is “optimistic” about the UK’s ability to shape the global economic agenda.
