Inflation: Govt must stand up against Trump's trade war
16 Apr 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Commenting after inflation dropped to 2.6% last month, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:
“The Chancellor will be making a grave error if she lets her guard down over today’s figures.
“Those already struggling with the sky-high cost of living simply won’t be able to withstand another hammer blow to their pockets, such as from President Trump’s global trade war.
“Instead of looking to appease Trump and Vance in a trade deal that waters down our high British standards, the Government must stand up for people and small businesses against their economic bullying, by forging new trade deals with our closest European and Commonwealth allies.”
