Keir Starmer warns that the UK must avoid Trump's import tariffs as he vows to boost US trade when president takes office for the second time

Daily Mail  

Britain must make sure it avoids attracting tariffs when Donald Trump retakes power in the US, Keir Starmer admitted today. Trump has vowed to introduce a range of tariffs during his second term in the White House, including a 10-20 per cent levy on all goods imports. Asked how he would dissuade Mr Trump from imposing tariffs on the UK, the Prime Minister told the Liaison Committee: 'It won't come as any surprise to you, I am not a fan of tariffs and, therefore, we have to make sure that we avoid tariffs. Sir Keir Starmer said he rejected the suggestion that the UK would have to choose between a closer trade deal with the EU and a free trade agreement with the US.
