UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called US President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on UK steel "very challenging" but ruled out an immediate reaction. Speaking to MPs, he said, "We are absolutely committed to steel production in Britain." His comments come as concerns grow over the future of Scunthorpe Steelworks, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warning, "There are three days to save steelmaking in Britain." Farage urged the government to "immediately nationalize British Steel" to keep the industry alive. Starmer emphasized the need for a measured response, stating, "We will keep all options on the table to protect British jobs and industry." (PC: Sky News)
