Nato foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels today to talk about Russia’s war on Ukraine. Increased defence investment is a key item on the agenda. But some of European’s foreign ministers, including the UK’s David Lammy, have been asked about Trump’s sweeping tariffs on the way in.
Speaking to journalists, Lammy said Trump was taking US economic policy back almost a century by embracing protectionism. The British foreign minister explained:
The United Kingdom, like France, is a great maritime nation.
We are a nation that believes in open trade, and I regret the return to protectionism in the United States, something that we’ve not seen for nearly a century.
