Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before the G7 announcement. On this edition of The Andrew Neil Report, the veteran broadcaster is joined by economist Liam Halligan to examine the threat of a US diesel export ban and its potential impact on Britain. With the UK importing more than half its diesel and holding only limited reserves, could higher prices and shortages push the economy towards recession? Andrew and Liam discuss Britain’s energy vulnerability, Trump’s political calculations, and the wider consequences for inflation, farming, transport, and industry. This is The Andrew Neil Report.
