00:00In areas like steel and aerospace, of course, those tariffs won't be there.
00:05That's a big improvement from where we were.
00:07A month ago, the Prime Minister and I went to Jaguar Land Rover,
00:11and we said to the workers there, we've got your backs.
00:14And the Prime Minister went back there yesterday to announce this trade deal with the US,
00:18and as a result, that manufacture for export from Jaguar Land Rover will restart.
00:24This is a good deal for our car manufacturing sector, aerospace, life sciences,
00:30and crucially, steel.
00:31And I think these are all examples of when business, when industry,
00:34when working people face challenge, this isn't a government that just steps back.
00:39We step up and we work with business, we work with trade unions to protect jobs,
00:43to secure jobs and bring investment into Britain.
