Liberal Democrats It’s time we stood up to Trump and united with our European
allies to make him back down



<[link removed]>



Dear John,

President Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on the UK for supporting the
territorial integrity of an ally is a grave threat to our economy, our
livelihoods, and our national security.

By demanding control of Greenland and threatening economic warfare on allies
who support its sovereignty, Trump risks ending NATO which has kept us safe for
75 years. Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping will be cheering him on.

Now is not the time to roll over. Yesterday in Parliament, I laid out why we
must stand up to Trump:

For a year now, the Prime Minister has tried a policy of appeasing Trump,
flattering him with a lavish state visit and refusing to stand up to him no
matter how much his actions went against our national interests.

It was all in the name of protecting us from damaging tariffs. Clearly, that
approach has been proved wrong.

Trump is a bully, behaving like an international gangster. The only way to
deal with a bully is to stand up to them.

That’s why the government must work with our European partners to make Trump
back down from his reckless plans. That must include preparing retaliatory
measures which would hit Trump and his cronies where it hurts, and to follow
through on these unless he drops his tariff threat.

It's time to show that Britain stands with our allies and we won’t be bullied
into submission.

For the sake of our national security and the future of the liberal,
rules-based international order, we must stand up to Trump.

Best wishes,






Ed Davey MP (he/him)
Leader of the Liberal Democrats
