"I'm all for Trump taking out enemies of the West. Maduro, the Iranian regime. But if he falls out with his own allies and leaves America isolated, that, that would be a very bad place to be."
"I've always been a supporter of the President since way before he got elected first time. But I will be having some words with the American administration in Davos on Wednesday on this issue. It's wrong."
"Whether Trump's bluffing or not, it's always difficult to tell. But to use economic threats against the country that's been considered to be your closest ally for over 100 years is not the kind of thing we would expect. It's wrong, it's bad. It would be very, very hurtful to us."
Nigel Farage criticized Donald Trump's threats of tariffs on the UK and Europe as wrong and damaging to close allies. He said he supports Trump targeting enemies like Maduro and Iran but warned that alienating allies would isolate America. Farage plans to raise the issue with members of the Trump administration at the World Economic Forum in Davos and said reciprocal tariffs would make no sense. He noted that Trump uses a 'degree of bluff' as a negotiating tactic but said using economic threats against a century-long ally would be very hurtful. He expressed hope for a Greenland–America economic partnership. Sir Keir Starmer commented that the UK and US are close allies.
