British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday vowed to "shelter" the UK's businesses from the storm unleashed in the wake of President Donald Trump’s flurry of global trade tariffs, even as he reiterated plans to pursue a trade deal with the US.
Writing in ‘The Sunday Telegraph’, Starmer said that nobody wins from a trade war and called for calm as the UK fights for the best trade deal. He reiterated that “all options remain on the table” as he indicated the possibility of state intervention to protect businesses.
“The economic consequences, here and across the globe, could be profound. We already have a balanced trading relationship with our American allies and work continues on a new economic prosperity deal,” writes Starmer.
