Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Before 2022, US-origin goods that cleared EU customs in another EU country before coming to the UK were counted as European imports.
43% : That puts Britain in a favourable position as Trump threatens tariffs targeting countries with significant deficits.
36% : Starmer and Lord Mandelson, the new UK ambassador to Washington, are arguing that Trump should spare Britain from any general application of tariffs given the trading position between the two countries.
23% : Trump has threatened punitive tariffs on countries with which the US runs trade deficits, though his focus appears to be goods rather than services.
