Caption: Starmer Balances UK Ties with US and EU Amid Trade Tensions. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has emphasized that the UK is "not choosing between the US and the EU” after President Donald Trump threatened the EU with trade tariffs. Over the weekend, Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, later paused and hinted at similar actions against the EU while suggesting a deal with the UK was possible. Starmer stressed the importance of maintaining strong ties with both allies, stating this approach would remain vital for years to come. Speaking in Brussels, Starmer backed "open and strong trading relations" during a press conference and met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, becoming the first UK prime minister to attend EU talks since Brexit. Rutte acknowledged ongoing tensions but reaffirmed the shared commitment to collective strength and unity among allies.
