4:51Now PlayingThe US is "working very hard" with the UK to negotiate a "great" trade deal, JD Vance has said.
It comes after Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on imports to the United States several weeks ago, sending stock prices tumbling and sparking fears of a global recession.
Since then, Trump has rowed back on tariffs, reducing the rate paid on imports from most countries to 10 per cent and, on Saturday, exempting electronics such as smartphones and laptops from the levy – including the 145 per cent charge on imports from China.
The Government has been hopeful of a deal to exempt the UK from Trump’s tariffs, with Vance saying on Tuesday that he was optimistic that both sides could come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks joins Tom Swarbrick to assess JD Vance's comments.
