00:00Well, we hope we can get a good trade deal with the US. I'm afraid people are a bit worried that
00:06President Trump is not a reliable ally. And so I hope any deal will come to Parliament and be
00:11properly scrutinized. There's concerns that this might be a bad deal for our farmers, that it might
00:17receive relaxation rules to protect our children on online safety or the digital services tax cut
00:24or damage to our wider economy. So we've got to make sure any trade deal is fair.
