UK Stands Against Trump Tariff Threats
UK shadow defence sec. James Cartlidge blasts Trump’s tariffs as a danger to Britain’s economy.
In a GB News video aired 19 January 2026, Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘unacceptable’ tariff threats targeting Britain and the EU. Cartlidge warned that such measures would harm Britain’s already fragile economy and called for swift action to prevent a trade war. The remarks were delivered on GB News’s platform following a speech by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on the same issue. While Starmer addressed the nation, Cartlidge underscored the potential damage to UK exports, manufacturing, and international trade relationships. The incident illustrates growing tensions between the UK and the United States over trade policy amid global economic uncertainties.
