Fox News aired a blistering row between Donald Trump ’s Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller and host Martha MacCallum this week, as the flustered politician was left yelling over the news anchor. Miller was on the show defending the sweeping tariffs being felt all around the globe, which have sent stock markets into a spiral. On Tuesday (April 8), he claimed the changes will make “America the manufacturing centre of the world”.
Miller said live on-air: “We have a president who has now actually taken the necessary action to bring back American industrial power and might, so that we will have real hard deterrence in this country, real hard strength in this country. And the middle class workers, the families can earn an income that they can retire on.” But things got tense as Martha argued the US public want to hear about “some of those people more and Wall Street a little bit less”, Miller interrupted her to yell: “Yes, and think about what people have suffered over the last 20 or 30 years.
” Martha continued to try and speak, but Miller simply steamrolled over her as she stammered: “I- I-“ He went on to list trade deficits the US has with its allies including South Korea and Japan, insisting: “We are on the verge now because of President Trump’s strength and leadership of fixing our entire global trading system. “President Trump is going to fix our global trading relationships and at the same time he’s gonna work with Congress to make America the manufacturing centre of the world with the lowest taxes, the lowest regulations, and the cheapest energy.” Trump has announced a 10% tariff on the UK on almost all goods being imported into the US, which could cause interest and mortgage rates to fall further in Britain.
The UK exported a value of £9billion in cars in 2024 to the US, followed by £6.6billion in medical and pharmaceutical products and £4.6billion in mechanical power generators.
