Keir Starmer plots visit to China. He just needs a policy first

Keir Starmer believes the UK will not quickly respond to President Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports into the USA.

Starmer's cautious approach is seen as wise, given that retaliation could escalate tensions and harm trade relationships with the EU.
