The prospect of a trade war will be a disaster especially for the United States, British finance minister Philip Hammond said in remarks he said I wish we could avoid a full-scale trade war because it would be a disaster for everyone not least for the United States.

Whatever the case, Hammond said, the UK will remain an outspoken advocate for open markets, free trade, low tariff barriers and low non-tariff barriers.
