The article discusses London Mayor Sadiq Khan's call for the UK government to establish a youth mobility scheme with the EU, aimed at enhancing economic growth amid looming global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. This scheme would enable young individuals between the ages of 18 to 35 to work freely across the EU for up to two years. Khan emphasizes that this initiative is not just a political discourse but an essential economic strategy to strengthen ties with Europe, which remains Britain's foremost trading partner, especially in turbulent economic times.
Writing in The Independent, the London Mayor said such an agreement - which would allow 18- to 35-year-olds to move and work freely between countries for up to two years - is long overdue and now needs to be considered in order to boost growth across Britain and Europe in the face of the trade taxes.
In light of Mr Trump's tariffs, Sir Sadiq argued such a scheme is now an economic priority, rather than a political talking point. Europe is by far our biggest trading partner and our most reliable political ally.
