Trump insiders warn Keir Starmer risks losing US trade deal | UK | News
Special debates between high -level US resources, Keir Starmer and President Donald Trump can hit the rocks on the EU reset plans of the UK.
“We look closely at the developments in the UK-EU trade and we have some concerns,” a senior republican said last night. “These concerns extend to some cabinet members and the president to him. Many of us really ask if England really wants a trade agreement with the United States.”
It is followed by a new report that warns that plans for regulatory harmony between London and Brussels will increase the export costs to the United States and seriously limit the chance of a comprehensive trade agreement with Washington. The UK was the first country to accept a trade agreement with the US during the second Trump administration.
The Economic Welfare Agreement (EMD) removed tariffs on 100,000 UK automobiles, aircraft parts and engines, and ownership provided uniform trade in all steel exports as long as US meets security concerns. However, if the UK does not meet these requirements, these tariffs will continue.
Since the Report of the Welfare Institute was hit in the economic welfare agreement earlier this year, it refers to new data to ensure the most comprehensive breakdown of the current situation of the UK-US trade.
According to the conditions of the UK-US EPD, the UK market has agreed to open the market to US agricultural goods, including 13,000 tons of beef meat and mutual tariffs for 1.4 billion liters of ethanol. The agreement predicted that agricultural goods should meet the food standards of the imported country.
However, if the EU reset continues, the UK imports must replace EU standards and shift the control of the trade agreement from Westminster to Brussels.
Last night, the report writer and economist Catherine McBride Obe said: “The EU is about to start a trade war with the United States and they want to make sure we are once again in the field of influence.
“However, we should not be under any illusion that EU reset, which includes agriculture, EU emissions trade plan and carbon limit adjustment mechanism, will regulate a future US-UK trade agreement.
“It will add cost to US imports, prevent the entry of some products, and even threaten the current trade with America.”
The United States is the largest trade partner of the UK, 16% of the UK exports and 27% of service exports in 2024, but with balanced property trade, it relys on British’s fuel imports such as oil, LNG, wooden lumps and ethanol due to net Zero policies.
The United States is also the largest export market for British service. According to the UK’s ounce, Britain serves the US slightly below £ 137 billion in 2024 and exported imported services worth £ 61 billion.
In contrast, England was the largest market for US service exports.
“The European Commission’s request certificate provides the EU control over all the agricultural and industrial imports of the UK.” He said.
“This is through the control of England’s food standards, animal welfare, pesticide arrangements, organic arrangements, food marketing standards and sanitary and phytosaniter regulations (SPS) or the Carbon Border Setting Mechanism of England (ETS) and the UK’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
“The EU’s CBAM is currently involving imported steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, hydrogen and electricity. The EU also includes maritime emissions caused by import transportation.
“All of these regulations will now be determined by the EU, not by the elected government of England.”
“Therefore, although he voted for leaving the EU in 2016 and despite any terrible forecasts for the realization of the EU, and despite the overthrow or improvement of the EU trade agreements, Australia, New Zealand, CPTPP, India and the United States – these trade agreements – these trade agreements – these trade agreements – these trade agreements – these trade agreements.
Sarah Elliott, the UK-US Special Relationship Unit Director of the Welfare Institute, added: “The EU standards are high protectionist and if the UK adopts them, it will reduce the US trade and make it more expensive.
“The UK cannot make both trade partners happy by making its regulations in accordance with EU standards.
He continued: “The EU and USA should recognize the regulations mutually.”
