Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to publicly support Canada against US tariffs amid rising trade tensions. He emphasizes the importance of standing by Commonwealth allies as Trump escalates his trade war, warning that Canada's sovereignty is under threat. This comes at a pivotal moment for NATO and the Ukraine conflict. The US's recent tariff increase on imports is acknowledged as retaliation for Canadian measures, prompting concerns about its impact on UK exports. Davey advocates for a principled stance against US actions, reinforcing solidarity with Canada.
I believe Britain needs to stand by our allies, our allies in the commonwealth and our allies in Europe.
It serves you better if you make it clear to Trump that you are not going to roll over, that you have principles.
Would we want the US to back away with its tariffs? Of course we would.
The US announced a 25% tariff on all imports of steel and aluminium in part as retaliation for Ontario imposing a surcharge.
