UK politics - live: Trump hints Britain may dodge tariffs as US-EU trade war looms



  • Trump hints Britain may dodge tariffs as US-EU trade war looms - US president warns of EU tariffs 'soon' as row risks overshadowing PM's key meeting with European leaders

The article discusses the current political and economic landscape in the UK, focusing on several key events. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's "Brexit reset summit" aimed at redefining the UK's relationship with the EU has been overshadowed by global economic concerns, particularly the potential trade war between the US and China following Donald Trump's comments on imposing high tariffs on Chinese goods. This has led to a significant drop in European markets, with the FTSE 100 experiencing its worst day in over a year. Additionally, the article touches on the internal political dynamics within the UK, including Labour's internal debates on Brexit policy, the Conservative Party's response to these developments, and the broader implications for UK-EU relations. The piece also mentions the ongoing economic pressures from inflation and the cost-of-living crisis, which are influencing public and political discourse.
