About this episode
Washington is reportedly demanding countries put forward their best trade talk offers by tomorrow as the reciprocal tariffs deadline of 8 July draws nearer. The EU has responded saying it will push for tariff cuts with the U.S. in meetings scheduled this week. The bloc has repeated its threats of counter-measures should an agreement fail to be reached. We hear from German Steel Association head Gunnar Groebler who says American companies are also being affected by the levies. And in the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has promised the largest sustained increase in defence spending since the end of the Cold War.
