Gordon Brown has called for an “economic coalition of the willing” to tackle the impact of Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, arguing the UK should go much further in its post-Brexit cooperation with the EU.
The former prime minister called for impacted countries to adopt coordinated economic policies, including a reduction of interest rates, as well as urging Britain to go even further in renewing its ties with the EU and collaborate in a way that is “even more extensive than removing post-Brexit trade barriers”.
