David Lammy plays down fears over Trump presidency and says UK must seize opportunities' on offer politics live
Briefly

David Lammy, the British foreign secretary, emphasized that foreign policy is typically less partisan than domestic politics and that there are potential opportunities with a Trump administration.
Lammy acknowledged that while Trump's return could change dynamics, he also pointed out the opportunities it could present, including potential alignment on defense spending.
In response to concerns about tariffs harming the British economy, Lammy suggested the US action could be counter-productive and proposed that the UK might secure exemptions.
Despite past criticisms, Lammy stressed the importance of recognizing that shared interests could exist between the UK and a Trump-led White House, especially regarding foreign policy.
