50% : The prime minister said Brexit was "settled", and he was focusing on "a closer relationship on defence and security, on energy, on trade and our economy".

40% : " EU officials have started drawing up contingency plans for the threat of US tariffs, and representatives of the bloc are bullish about the prospect of a face-off with America, the Telegraph reported.
19% : Sir Keir Starmer's meeting with EU chiefs threatens to be overshadowed by the threat of an international trade war as countries hit by Donald Trump's tariffs vow retaliation.
