Should Starmer be ‘bending’ to Trump’s tariffs? | LBC

The UK is bracing for “Liberation Day”, with Sir Keir Starmer reportedly putting together a last-minute package to avoid the worst effects of Donald Trump’s global tariffs. James O'Brien assesses the Prime Minister's options and considers if Keir Starmer has 'any choice' in 'bending the knee' to Trump. Described as “one of the most important days in American history” by the White House, April 2 will see the United States levy tariffs of up to 25 per cent on countries across the globe. Downing Street reportedly spent Tuesday attempting to agree a last-minute deal with Washington, but the Prime Minister now accepts this is not going to happen before Trump introduces his tariffs. However, the Government has continued to work on the proposal, which is focused on future technologies and could include tax cuts for US tech giants. Sir Keir Starmer's government is also offering to reduce tariffs the UK currently imposes on US exports of beef, chicken and other meats, the Telegraph reports.
