Keep our cool amidst Trump tariff turmoil, says FM

by Amelia

Wales' first minister has urged businesses and politicians to "keep our cool" as turmoil continues to hit world markets following US President Trump's tariff hike.

Eluned Morgan told BBC Wales Today it was a "very unsettling time" for Welsh firms and pledged to work with them to "mitigate the very difficult circumstances".

Trump announced a 10% tariff on all imports from the UK and many other countries from 5 April, which he said was necessary to protect American jobs and manufacturing.

The United States is Wales' second biggest trading partner, after the European Union, but it is unclear what impact the tariffs will have.
