  • How the UK could feel the full force of Trump's second term - The 45th US president's second term could have major implications for the UK

The article from MSN discusses the potential impacts on the UK if Donald Trump were to win a second term as U.S. President. Key points include Trump's previous threats to impose tariffs on UK car exports, which could significantly affect the British economy. Additionally, Trump's skepticism towards NATO and his transactional approach to international relations might strain the UK-U.S. "special relationship." The article also mentions Trump's past comments on the UK's handling of Brexit, suggesting he might push for a hard Brexit or criticize the UK's approach to negotiations with the EU. Furthermore, issues like the unresolved status of the Chagos Archipelago, where the UK has been at odds with international rulings, could be leveraged by Trump for political gain. Lastly, Trump's support for Ukraine might waver, potentially affecting UK's foreign policy, especially if he seeks to reduce U.S. involvement in international conflicts or uses aid as leverage in negotiations.
