PM claims 'trade deals restoring UK identity'
The Herald
|June 27, 2025
PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said the trio of recent UK trade deals has “restored our identity” in a “volatile world”, as the Government laid out its new plan to better protect firms from rising threats to global trade.
-
Since Donald Trump's tariff announcements in April, the UK has reached new agreements with the US, India and the EU.
Sir Keir said the deals showed “even in this volatile world, Britain is proudly, unashamedly, defiantly, open for business.”
The Government's Trade Strategy aims to boost opportunities for UK businesses to export internationally and vows to protect firms from global threats to free trade.
It comes at a time of heightened uncertainty following Trump's tariff announcements, which have hiked charges on most US imports in a bid to boost home-grown production and support US businesses.
