November 1, 2024 3:09 pmwho will replace Joe Biden and become the 47th president of the United States. British observers should be praying that it’s notwould be catastrophic for exporters selling into the US. Even if Trump were to carve out exemptions for his pals in Britain – and he’s shown no intention of doing so – we would still be part of a global supply chain strangled by Trump’s trade vandalism.
Those are just two things Trump could do to make life difficult for Britain on day one. But why focus on hypotheticals when Trump’s first presidency offers so many examples of how bad a friend to Britain he is? Trump also constantly dangled the carrot of a US-UK trade deal. Thousands of words could be written about why one is not on the cards, regardless of who resides in Downing Street or the White House. In short: the DC position, which is bipartisan, is that the UK would have to allow US drug companies to question any pharmaceutical deals the UK does. That would drive up drug prices, and have a knock-on effect on all healthcare.
