September 16th: The U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen justified a special arrangement for Powell, enabling him to take a temporary leave from his White House post while serving as a Fed governor. Yellen stated on Tuesday, "I don't believe there is anything inappropriate about it at all."

Starmer's allies disclosed that if UK steel exports could secure a fixed 25% tariff commitment, it would bring "certainty" to the industry and give it a competitive edge - as this tariff rate is only half of the 50% tariff paid by other countries. UK government officials indicated that the current 25% preferential tariff enjoyed by UK steel is intended to be designated as a "permanent treatment".
