rides the ai boom and beats wall street expectations with its latest earnings. runway on a daily basis? a decision is expected today on whether the uk's live from london, this is business today. looks like donald trump is about to hit the european the us president said he's the eu is currently america's third largest trading partner. according to the latest figures, trump's tariffs

could be hit by as much as $29 billion worth of if the us imposes new tariffs. our north america business correspondent michelle donald trump warned during his first cabinet meeting that 25% tariffs on eu goods are coming soon. a number as he railed against the eu for not accepting more cars and agriculture products from america. the eu's 10% tariff on passenger cars is much to screw the united states, but the eu flatly rejected the us's criticism. in a statement, a commission spokesperson said...

imposed, but said that many trade actions would come on april the 2nd. analysts noted that the 25% figure, the same level facing mexico and canada, was at the high end trump had already proposed a global reciprocal tariff if they actually were to go ahead and do that, that america's other major trading partners, and so the 25% that he threw out today is in line with the high end stocks in the us came

off their highs of the day. today will be at the white house to meet us on tuesday, the prime minister announced an increase in the uk's defence spending marking a big shift the question of what will happen with ukraine in the event of a peace deal. but there is also the looming threat of tariffs and a future uk—us trade deal that needs to be discussed. i think that's right. and starmer really needs to keep that

in other words, diplomacy. making sure that president trump actually feels like the uk is on his side, but is also prepared the security landscape in europe has changed enormously. we knew about tariffs. we knew about how he was going to threaten the security environment of europe directly. everything down, make sure that he reinforces the need for us for it, for example by

important to the prime minister now. he's been on this message for for quite some time talking about the us backstop. that is definitely required. but will he will he get any sort of leeway i think president trump is very unlikely to give assurances. this is all about laying cards on the table at the moment, setting out the frameworks. is very important for that type of framework. it's giving a financial structure. and the key thing is to talk president trump's language. so the language is that of economics. it's that of finance. it's that of doing deals and bargains. so, so long as keir starmer keeps that type of put a european and a uk and of course a united states perspective as well.

so make sure that this is actually the uk bringing the us and the european union closer together. rebecca harding there. there is an awful lot at stake and we have full coverage of the will have full coverage of the minister's meeting with prime minister's meeting with president trump today. editor chris mason is 7 7 theprime travelling with the prime minister. also, we will be across friday's meeting between president zelensky and president zelensky and president trump at which it is expected the two will an expected the two will sign an agreement, a deal on critical minerals that are said to be in the soil in ukraine, of great value to the us of course. also it is reported in some that on his way back newspapers that on his way back from president from washington, president zelensky will be in the uk on sunday. so an awful lot happening regards to

happening with regards to ukraine of europe ukraine and of course europe the uk's relationship with united states. let's now concentrate on nvidia. the tech giant has beaten all wall street expectations with its fourth—quarter earnings. huge demand for its ai chips helped boost it's revenues to just on the 26th of january. rising to just over $130 billion for 2024, which is a massive 114% increase compared to a year earlier. many had been concerned about the impact growth of around $15 billion for the current quarter.

for nvidia's products was so strong. continue that growth. as you mentioned, is almost stunning at this scale. but as the earlier correspondent mentioned, the gross margin may be pressured somewhat

it is remarkable. well it is. and i mean the chief executive, jensen huang, who of course was grilled after the release of the earnings he seems to be surprised at how strong the demand is going forward. yeah, i mean, this the what i liked most that is clearly the fastest product ramp in its history. and it also shows that the supply chain, demand for blackwell

will be very, very strong. negative for all? well, i would say export well, i would say export control is certainly control is certainly a negative for china a negative for china in that they are unable in that they are unable to access the latest to access the latest and greatest and greatest like a blackwell chip, like the machine from asml in europe, for example. it is a negative for china. worked as us it is a way of us trying to slow down the growth by china technology, by china technology, especially in al. especially in al. but given what deepseek announced a month ago, given that they were supposedly able to develop their technology using the more slower using the more slower h20 chip manufactured h20 chip manufactured by nvidia, it tells us that, at least so far, that export control hasn't that export control hasn't worked as us that export control

hasn't worked as us expected, and as a result, we would expect that trump administration would tighten it further and that

on whether the government will approve plans to currently, they're not allowed to be used at the same our transport correspondent sean dilley has the details. at europe's busiest single runway airport, managers are waiting on an important arrival — the long—awaited work in government on whether
