US EditionShould Keir Starmer take a tougher stance on Donald Trump?
Keir Starmer urges calm dialogue with the US to avoid a damaging tariff war that threatens British businesses and families, following a tariff increase to 25%, officials said.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened an emergency Downing Street press conference, urging engagement with European allies and President Donald Trump to prevent escalation.
- The US announced tariffs over the weekend—initially 10 per cent then increased to 25 per cent—on countries including Britain linked to resistance over Greenland, while the EU considers retaliatory duties worth over ninety billion euros.
- Starmer warned a tariff war would harm British businesses, workers and families and emphasised the UK-US defence, security and intelligence partnership's vital role in public safety.
- Economic gains and a tense bilateral dynamic shape the UK's immediate response as the UK government says its strategy delivered hundreds of billions of pounds in inward investment, protecting jobs and businesses, while officials say Donald Trump remains a difficult figure for the Prime Minister.
- Looking ahead, Starmer prefers dialogue over escalation as the diplomatic posture, calling the demand `completely wrong` at a Monday Downing Street press conference and seeking stable relations since President Donald Trump's return.
