After Trump Tariffs, the World As We Know It Is Gone: UK PM

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the introduction of sweeping global tariffs by the United States has created a “new world” governed by “deals and alliances” rather than rules.
 

Starmer made the remarks in an opinion piece published in The Sunday Telegraph newspaper as countries around the world braced for further fallout from US President Donald Trump’s new tariff regime, which sent markets plummeting at the end of last week.

“The world as we knew it has gone. Old assumptions can no longer be taken for granted,” Starmer wrote.

Trump’s 10 percent baseline import tax on goods from around the world kicked in on Saturday. While the United Kingdom has got off relatively lightly with the 10 percent tariff, many nations face even higher levies in the coming days.

“This is an economic revolution, and we will win,” the US president wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday. “Hang tough, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic.”
