Tony Blair has warned Starmer against retaliatory tariffs – here’s why

• Former Prime Minister Tony Blair advised current Labour leader Keir Starmer against retaliating against Donald Trump's newly imposed tariffs on British exports.
• Blair believes that retaliation is not in the UK's best interest, despite the tariffs posing a significant economic threat.
• The tariffs, a blanket 10 per cent levy on British exports to the US, were introduced by Trump on "Liberation Day," causing global market instability.
• The UK government, while initially threatening retaliatory tariffs, is still engaged in trade negotiations with the US, hoping to secure a deal.
• Even with a potential deal, the global impact of the tariffs is expected to cause a substantial economic shock to the UK.
