Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has had discussions with the American ambassador on tariffs.

The Prime Minister spoke to President Trump on 18 January. DBT Ministers and officials are in regular contact with all levels of the US Administration. Although I attended an event with the American Ambassador celebrating our shared trade, when we talked about a variety of subjects, including rugby, I have not specifically spoken to him about tariffs.
