This is causing a significant increase in debt servicing costs for Britain, making it harder for the government to manage its finances. The rising cost of living, including groceries and government borrowing, is a direct result of Trump's policies, which are having a ripple effect on the global economy. As the UK's Chancellor John Healey drafts his autumn budget, these external pressures will be a major concern.
