UK can 'cuddle' EU and US at the same time amid Trump tariff threats, minister says

^{Published on 2025-02-11 10:00:40 - MSN}

Britain can cuddle Europe and the US at the same time, a minister has said, as Donald Trump's steel tariffs threaten to spark a global trade war. Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds denied that the UK would have to choose between aligning itself more closely with the EU or the US with tensions between the two mounting.

The article discusses comments made by UK Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch regarding the UK's trade relationships with both the European Union and the United States. Amid threats of new tariffs from former US President Donald Trump, Badenoch emphasized that the UK can maintain strong trade ties with both the EU and the US simultaneously. She highlighted the UK's strategic position to foster good relations with both economic powers, suggesting that the UK does not need to choose between the two. Badenoch also mentioned the importance of the UK's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the ongoing negotiations for a free trade agreement with India, indicating a broader approach to global trade relations. This comes at a time when the UK is navigating its post-Brexit trade landscape, aiming to leverage its independence to secure advantageous trade deals worldwide.
