00:00I've said from the start that I have a relationship not just with President Trump, but I mean

00:04half of the cabinet that he's got are people that I know, I know socially, and in some

00:09cases I've known for many, many years.

00:11So I'll repeat the offer that I've made to this government.

00:15If they would like me to help with these negotiations, I would do it.

00:19Not because I'm a Labour supporter, but because I believe in the national interest.

00:23The only silver lining at the moment, of course, is that because of Brexit, we got a 10% general

00:28tariff as opposed to a 20% one.

00:31There's a lot more we can do.

00:33I would love to help.
