Trump Tariffs Debate Descends into Brexit Chaos
James O’Brien puts caller Paul – ‘the least woke bloke in the world’ – on the spot after he reveals he voted for Brexit.
Paul is asked to give ‘his favourite bit’ of Britain’s exit from the EU, but James is not satisfied with his response.
The debate began with Paul wondering why ‘everyone’s so surprised’ by Trump’s tariffs.
It comes after Donald Trump has claimed the UK is happy with the tariffs he imposed on Wednesday’s ‘Liberation Day’.
Trump announced imports from the UK would be hit with 10% tariffs on Wednesday, the lowest rate possible – although this was still considered damaging by politicians and businesses.
Many countries and trade blocs, including China and the EU, were hit with much higher import taxes.
The British government said on Thursday that it was drawing up a list of goods that would be subject to retaliatory tariffs.
