The International Trade Secretary tells Sky News that while he understands US frustrations, there will be trade war consequences.
"It's a means by which we help spread prosperity and that prosperity underpins political cohesion and social cohesion which contributes to political stability and that political stability is part of the building block of our collective security.
Commenting specifically on the trade war, he said:"If we are simply all allowed to do what's in our national interest, we'll find that we get the re-emergence of the sort of barriers to trade that we've seen in previous times."Dr Fox told the programme he did not think there was too much space on Brexit between the government and Labour as they look to agree a way forward on EU withdrawal that would pass the House of Commons.
"The EU would be able to make access to the UK market part of their offer in any trade agreement and we would find ourselves in a unique position in our trading history in that we would be being traded.
