Has Trump betrayed Starmer steel deal?

Has Trump betrayed Starmer steel deal?

Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

The UK steel industry – which was on the verge of collapse just weeks ago – will no longer face the heaviest of Donald Trump's tariffs, the US announced overnight.

We're the only country spared the doubling of tariffs on steel imports to the US to 50% – ours instead capped at 25%.

This sounds great – until you remember last month's UK-US agreement – when the PM negotiated President Trump’s 25% tariff down to zero – a deal that is yet to come into force.

What's happened? And how big a win is this for Sir Keir Starmer and for Labour in any case? Is this ensuring the revival of British steel, or merely another stay of execution?
