The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will publish a report on the potential impact of recently announced tariffs by the Unites States on the UK economy.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Having retained our cool-headed approach and robustly defended the rights of the people of Greenland and the kingdom of Denmark alone to determine their future, we are glad that the President has announced that these tariffs will not be proceeding.
