About this episode

Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, says Britain should negotiate a trade deal, as the country faces a 10% blanket US tariff, as well as steel and vehicles tariffs. He tells Bloomberg's Caroline Hepker and Valerie Tytel that the Labour government's effort to develop the relationship with the Trump White House has been "impressive" but 45% of all UK exports are manufactured products.
