Snub Brussels or you risk Trump tariffs, Keir Starmer warned

Keir Starmer has been advised that Britain can only avoid Donald Trump’s trade tariffs if Labour abandons its plan to curry favor with the EU.

As Britain commemorates the fifth anniversary of Brexit, the prime minister will meet with German leader Olaf Scholzin in the UK on Sunday to discuss deeper commercial relations with the nation.

He will also make the case for further integration when he travels to Brussels on Monday to negotiate a defense accord with the EU.

However, it comes days after the newly elected US president threatened to impose tariffs on EU imports.

“The European Union has treated us so terribly,” Mr. Trump said Friday while speaking in the Oval Office.

Mr. Trump has already declared 10% taxes on Chinese imports and 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

Sir Keir was cautioned by Tory Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith not to endanger a US trade agreement by befriending Brussels.

“Keir Starmer must not let us down by putting Britain under the bus with his Brussels chums next week,” he told the Sun on Sunday.

It’s time to stand up, stop hesitating, and negotiate an agreement that eliminates the possibility of tariffs.

“We won’t do a deal with America if you get too close to the EU on trade,” stated Nigel Farage. The PM scourt has the ball.

“Brexit should allow the UK to avoid US tariffs that would hit the EU hard,” stated Nile Gardiner, head of the Margaret Thatcher Centre for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation in the United States.

“Starmer would be incredibly stupid to support sinking Brussels rather than the world’s superpower, Washington.

“Keir Starmer should not turn himself in to the EU and betray the British people. This would be a monumentally foolish conduct.

At the end of the month, Keir Starmer hopes to travel to the United States to meet with Donald Trump and argue for Britain to be exempt from trade penalties.

He is supposed to remark that because of the unique relationship between America and Britain, the taxes shouldn’t burden us.

If a tit for tat trade war breaks out, there are concerns that store prices may skyrocket.

Former Bank of England governor and leading candidate for Canada’s next prime minister, Mark Carney, proposed that the G7 unite to oppose Mr. Trump.

“With the exception of the United States as it is currently acting, Canada shares many values with the United Kingdom, the European Union, several Asian countries, and the G7,” he stated.

And that opens up opportunities. When considering business partnerships in any of those nations, including Canada, we must consider the world as it is, not as it was or as we would have preferred.
