conservative leader Kimmy badok has
0:02
urged Kia stama to reopen trade talks
0:04
with the US after Donald Trump swept to
0:07
victory over Democrat rival carala
0:09
Harris the two party leaders faced each
0:11
other across the dispatch box for the
0:13
first time in the wake of the historic
0:15
election result with Trump set to return
0:18
to the White House in January Bok who
0:21
was elected conservative leader beating
0:23
Robert jenrich on Saturday urged stammer
0:25
to look after the UK's special
0:27
relationship with the United States it
0:30
doesn't sound like he wants to invite
0:32
president-elect Trump to Parliament he
0:34
needs to look after the special
0:36
relationship the US is our single
0:38
biggest trade partner given the risk of
0:41
increased tariffs on UK exports which
0:43
threaten our manufacturing sector will
0:45
the Prime Minister commit now to
0:47
continue the negotiations on our free
0:49
trade agreement with the US which the
0:51
Biden Administration celled when they
0:53
came into office in response starm
0:55
pledged that his government will discuss
0:57
issues of the UK economy with the
1:00
economy security and global conflict are
1:03
issues of real significance that ought
1:06
to unite this house but when it comes
1:10
when it comes to the economy what we've
1:11
done with our budget is to fix the
1:13
foundations after 14 years and a nod to
1:16
a shift in Global Security in the wake
1:18
of the US election Bok also asserted
1:21
that President Trump is right to argue
1:23
that Europe needs to increase its
1:25
defense spending the last conservative
1:27
government committed to raising defense
1:29
spending to two and a half% by
1:31
2030 will the Prime Minister finally
1:35
match this commitment there is no more
1:38
important duty than keeping the people
1:40
of this country safe and it was the
1:42
labor government that signed the NATO
1:44
treaty in the first place and we are
1:46
strong supporters we have a Strategic
1:48
Defense review we are committed to
1:51
2.5% but I would remind the part the
1:54
last time 2.5 was met was under the last
2:01
14 years and they never did it once the
2:05
exchange also saw Bok urged stama to
2:07
apologized for prior comments on Trump
2:09
by Foreign secretary David Lamy calling
2:12
them derogatory and scatological
2:14
references including and I quote Trump
2:17
is not only a woman hating Neo-Nazi
2:19
sympathizing sociopath he is also a
2:21
profound threat to the international
2:23
order and if he did not apologize will
2:25
the Prime Minister do so now on his
2:27
behalf the foreign secretary and I did
2:29
meet president presid elect Trump just a
2:30
few weeks ago for dinner for about a
2:33
couple of hours and we discussed a
2:34
number of issues of global significance
2:37
it was a very constructive uh exercise
2:40
here at City we'd like to know what do
2:42

2:45

2:47
