  • London Mayor Sadiq Khan is urging the UK Government to establish a youth mobility scheme with the European Union.
  • Mr Khan argues this scheme could mitigate the negative economic impact of Donald Trump's global tariffs.
  • The scheme would allow young people aged 18-35 to work and travel freely between the UK and EU for up to two years.
  • While the UK government has resisted such a scheme, Mr Khan emphasises its economic benefits, particularly in light of potential trade disruptions.
  • He believes it would boost key sectors, bring in new talent and ideas, and strengthen ties with Europe.
