The UK government has ruled out a taxpayer-funded bailout for Jaguar Land Rover as the carmaker reportedly considers cutting as many as 4,000 jobs.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the government would not invest public money to limit the losses. Before talks involving JLR, union leaders and government officials, he said it was not his job to “intervene and run businesses”.

The company is under pressure from tariffs imposed by Donald Trump and competition from Chinese carmakers. Those pressures will form part of the backdrop to the discussions with unions and ministers.
