00:00So what does Britain have to do for you to drop the baseline 10% tariff that you will maintain?

00:09Well, I think that's set because that has to do with a lot of different things, including past.

00:14You know, there are a lot of past things that we talk.

00:16This is very inclusive.

00:18We included everything, and that's pretty well set.

00:22Yeah, please.

00:22Yeah, Mr. President, the 10% baseline tariff remaining in place,

00:26is that a template for these future trade deals?

00:28No.

00:28You say you're going to keep it here.

00:29Is it going to stay in every case?

00:31No, that's a low number.

00:33They made a good deal.

00:35Many, some will be much higher because they have massive trade surpluses,

00:39and, you know, in many cases they didn't treat us right.

00:41One thing with the U.K., they had it, you know, somewhat closed.

00:46Not like a China, as an example, but they always treated us with great respect.

00:51They treated us with great respect.

00:53The template of 10 will, is probably the lowest, and therefore they, you know, made that deal.

01:05But they, you know, we've had just a very special relationship with them.

01:10Like, I won't do that deal with cars.

01:11I mean, unless somebody shows me that there's another kind of a car that's comparable to a Rolls-Royce,

01:15then there aren't too many.

01:17This is a good commercial for Rolls-Royce, but...

01:19I'm going to order a lot of cars.

01:21Mr. President, I wonder whether you'd like to buy.

01:24Oh!

01:24Well, the last time this happened, I would be happy to suggest a discount,

01:31obviously a very modest discount.

01:34I've had many of them, actually.

01:38You know, the last time that happened, I ended up buying a Tesla, you know.
