1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Gavin Gray, UK correspondents with US Now even in Gevin 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Hi there. Now, does it look to you like the 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: EU deal with the US is not that great for 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: the EU? 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the media and analysts are suggesting 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 2: as much this morning. Of course, we still really don't 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 2: have much in the way of detail, but the European 8 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 2: Union and America heralding as a big deal, and it 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: is a big deal because it's roughly one in three 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: goods and services around the world, So the US EU 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: trade is a massive, massive factor around the world. But 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: we now know, of course that the EU will still 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: end up paying tariffs. Well, looks like everyone is going 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: to fifteen percent, so that's half the thirty percent that 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: they were being threatened with, but more than the UK's 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 2: ten percent. And the deal will add roughly ninety billion 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: US dollars revenue for American government coffers. I mean, that's 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: a huge sum of money. And the EU also buying 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: US energy products and also a defense worth hundreds of 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: billions of dollars. And indeed jd Vance has said that 21 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: he reckons that the headlines around the world will be 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: Donald Trump only got ninety nine point nine percent of 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 2: what he asked for what did Europe get back in return? Well, 24 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: I think they are kind of playing the longer game. 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: The European economy is sluggish at the moment, so they 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: didn't want to upset that they need America's help for 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: defense and now recognize that. And despite the tough words 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: from Emmanuel mac Gran saying that it should be a 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: level playing field and Europe should then impose tariffs on America, 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: it just looks like they thought, do you know what 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: will swallow this pill? It'll make exports imports from America 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: more expensive and therefore I dissuade people from buying American 33 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: and overall decided this was something that they would have 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: to do and will do. But they're painting it as 35 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: a success. 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: How long do you think that the UK is prepared 37 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: to drop eight into Gaza because this is not a 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: short term effect, is it? 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: No, it isn't And at the moment, so far the 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: planes that have been on route via Jordan and Ua 41 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: have not involved the IREF and have not been UK 42 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: food or UK provided supplies. But the British Prime Minister 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: says they are working with Jordan now to get British 44 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: planes and indeed British supplies in the air and into Gaza. 45 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: It comes at a very very interesting time with Israel 46 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: now saying they'll do these tactical ceasefires are tactical peace 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: times in order to get the AID in. There's huge 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: pressure on Sekire Starmer France is to become the first 49 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: G seven nation to recognize a Palestinian state. A large 50 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: number of MPs, even from Sekire Starmer's own party of government, 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: are demanding that he recognized Palestine as an independent state 52 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: and now here Sekis Darmer is today with a two 53 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: hour meetings set aside to speak to Donald Trump. Yes, 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: it will be about aid and it will be rather 55 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: about trade. That's what Donald Trump wants to talk about, 56 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: to flesh out a few of the little issues that 57 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: remain following the announcement of a trade deal with do 58 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: in the UK and the US, but also secure Starma. 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: Definitely promising to mention the situation in Gaza. 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Kevin, it's good to talk to you.
