Taking PMQs in the Commons, Keir Starmer made clear his unhappiness that the US had pushed ahead with the blanket 25 per cent levy on steel and aluminium imports.

The EU retaliated with its own levies, escalating a global trade crisis. Starmer aims for a negotiated deal covering tariffs but keeps all options open, while the UK steel industry anticipates a significant impact.
