UK Starmer and Trump are talking to the press and comments from Trump are largely less about trade and more about other cooperation between countries on global issues:
Trump:
- We can say a lot of people, there is real starvation, you can't fake that
- Israel has a lot of responsibility for flow of eight
- Israel can do a lot on food access in Gaza
- Iran has been sending out nasty signals
- Smaller nuclear plants are interesting
- On Russia, there will be more sanctions unless they make a deal for peace.They may make a deal, you don't know
- Will confirm new deadline tonight or tomorrow
On pharma with UK:
- We will be announcing form of tariffs in the very near future
- We would not use format tariffs as a board for UK
- Drug prices in the US will be going down very very soon
On global tariffs:
- US is going to be setting a tariff for the rest of the world and that's what they will have to pay.
- Says world tariffs would be somewhere between 15-20%
Meanwhile, Starmer says:
- Images of starving children in Gaza are revolting
- Hamas can play absolutely no part in any future government in Palestine.
