We firmly believe in the UK and across Europe that we do that by NATO allies, by friends working together to secure the best outcomes, not unilaterally making decisions about another country.
All of our focus is on de-escalation, not in worst-case scenarios.
We have worked incredibly closely with President Trump the last year because we believe it's in our UK national interest to do so.
The strategic relationship between the US and the UK, the military and strategic partnership between our countries is more important than...
partnership between any two countries in the world and it's very important for the safety and security of the western world that that continues and we're determined that it will do so.
Similarly the fact that we were able last year to secure the economic partnership deal with the US and we continue work on the
the transatlantic markets work that we're doing at the moment to make it easier for our capital markets to be better integrated and firms listed in the UK and the US raising finance in each other's jurisdictions, greater collaboration when it comes to digital assets, all of that is in the UK's national interest and we'll continue to pursue our national interest

That includes trade in services, support for exports and also around government procurement.
That's a huge deal.
The deal with Korea, one of the fastest growing economies as well in the G20 is very important for the UK.
But most important probably is the trade with our nearest neighbours and trading partners in the EU, which was damaged after leaving the EU, voting to leave the EU in 2016.
We are now fixing that mess by improving trade relations and cooperation with our closest allies and neighbours.
I think that people recognize that certainly with this government and with me as chancellor, there's huge respect for independent economic institutions, whether that is the Bank of England or the Office of Budget Responsibility.
