United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister (PM) Keir Starmer said during European trading hours on Monday that the administration is in continuous talks with international partners about what more we can do to reduce the economic impact amid the ongoing war in the Middle East between the United States (US), Iran, and Israel.

Remarks

We've done a lot of work to put some resilience into our economy over the last 18 months.

Talking to international partners about what more we can do to reduce the economic impact.

The longer this conflict goes on, the more likely the potential for an impact for economy.
