UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer set to acknowledge popularity of Trump's tariffs as he admits ‘globalization is over'
2025-04-07
[NYP] 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.
