DANIEL HANNAN: The chief victims of Donald Trump's new tariffs will be Americans. The President's 25 per cent levy on all imported cars will result in price rises.
Daniel Hannan argues Keir Starmer should initiate trade talks with the US to avert Trump's tariffs, offering to suspend or reduce UK tariffs on US cars in exchange. This would benefit the British economy through tariff removal on manufactured goods, mutual recognition of credentials, and cooperation in sectors like financial services and technology. Success in these talks would boost both the UK economy and Starmer's political standing.
