United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to admit that he understands the rationale behind US President Donald Trump’s tariff push, according to a report.
The center-left Starmer will announce on Sunday that he understands the reason why the economic nationalist framework imposed by the Trump tariffs is popular with voters — while arguing that tariffs are still wrong, The Times reported.

“Trump has done something that we don’t agree with but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this,” a spokesperson for the Prime Minister said in a statement to the outlet.
“The world has changed, globalization is over and we are now in a new era. We’ve got to demonstrate that our approach, a more active Labour government, a more reformist government, can provide the answers for people in every part of this country,” the statement concluded.
BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! You Socialist nitwits always think you can spend other people's money into oblivion to make it all better. But, of course, you always end up making everything far worse for everyone - except for you grifters, that is.
In the address, Starmer will emphasize the supposed end to globalization and admit to Englanders that the accompanying policies of free trade and mass migration have failed millions of voters, the report stated.
Ah, Starmer ... you disingenuous, Socialist schmuck ... your "globilization" was never about "free trade" ... it was all about sticking it to the American people and making them pay for your failed statist policies. You lying moron. Trump's tariffs are simply reciprocal with your already existing, long-standing tariffs. If you truly hate tariffs so much, then you go first and remove the tariffs you imposed on us, long ago, you asshole. Then, we will remove our reciprocal tariffs on you and we'll have free trade.
Starmer has yet to speak with President Trump about the freshly imposed tariffs.
The Prime Minister did discuss the issue with France’s President Macron Saturday on a phone call, in which the two Western leaders agreed that a trade war is in nobody’s interests, “but nothing should be off the table,” the outlet reported.
You hypocrites don't want a trade war? Then get rid of your unequal tariffs on us. If that's what you truly want, then it's very simple and straightforward, actually.
On Wednesday, President Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on nearly every country in the world — including a 10% tariff on all goods imported from England.
