Trump's tariff war is entering a crucial new phase. In just a few weeks’ time he is threatening to blow up the global economy once again if countries around the world don't cave in to his demands. Yet even allies like the EU and Canada are refusing to be bullied.
One country, however, has already given ground on Trump's tariff threats: the United Kingdom. And it has done so by firing the starting pistol on a full US-UK trade deal that gives up power to the giant US corporations which stand behind the president.
Worryingly, there’s very little evidence to suggest that Keir Starmer is prepared or willing to stand up to Trump’s agenda. Instead, he seems ready to rush into a deal that could weaken our rights, lower standards and undermine the protections we, and movements like ours before, have fought so hard to win.
Trump and his team are moving fast; we must move faster. Unless we stand up to this deal, we will pay a very high price for Starmer’s pandering to Donald Trump. Can you help our campaign by donating £5 today?
We know the US is already pushing Britain to drop its digital services tax, a small butimportant step toward tackling Big Tech’s tax dodging, which is set to raise £5 billion by 2030.
But the stakes are even higher. This deal could hand Big Tech the right to exploitour personal data – including medical information from the NHS – and lock in a low-regulation environment for emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).
This isn’t just a UK issue. Trump’s trade agenda is part of a global push by billionaires to entrench their power and rewrite the rules of the global economy in their interests.
Stopping a full US-UK deal is not an easy feat. But we’ve done it twice before and with your support, we can do it again. Will you donate today to help stop a toxic US-UK trade deal?
