Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has urged the UK to hit back against the US if Donald Trump slaps tariffs on British steel and aluminium exports. The UK has so far declined to join the EU and Canada in threatening immediate retaliation if a planned 25% import tax comes into force next month. But Sir Ed said “sitting back and hoping Trump won’t hurt us just isn’t going to work”, adding the UK needed to negotiate “from a position of strength”.
