The UK is “not choosing between the US and the EU”, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said after President Donald Trump threatened the European Union with trade tariffs. Over the weekend, Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and said he would take similar action against the EU but suggested a deal could be “worked out” with the UK. Asked if he would be willing to water down attempts to forge closer ties with the EU in exchange for keeping the US on side, Sir Keir said both relationships were important to the UK.
