Sir Keir Starmer has been warned not to “cosy up to the White House” as a new poll shows nearly two in three Labour voters believe he should build closer economic and security ties to Europe as Donald Trump returns to power.
The same proportion of Labour voters, 67 per cent, say they are “worried” about the impact of Mr Trump’s presidency. The findings will pile pressure on Sir Keir to accelerate talks to improve UK-EU relations as the world braces for Mr Trump’s second term.
