In light of recent US tariff announcements, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer highlighted the UK's commitment to negotiate a favorable trade deal with Washington. He stressed that responding in kind is not the solution, and acknowledged the economic repercussions both domestically and globally. Starmer advocated for an 'economic prosperity deal' to mitigate tariff impacts, ensuring that any agreement aligns with national interests and worker security. He recognized the evolving geopolitical landscape, encouraging a pragmatic approach to maintain national security amidst these changes.
Starmer said, "Clearly, there will be an economic impact from the decisions the US has taken both here and globally."
Sir Keir asserted that "nobody wins in a trade war" and emphasized London’s "fair and balanced trade relationship with the US."
