British-American trade deal sets a 'bad example': attack threatens on Chinese suppliers (Het Financieele Dagblad)

An article by a Dutch financial newspaper (Het Financieele Dagblad) examines the May 2025 UK-US trade deal, raising concerns that it threatens to push Chinese suppliers out of the supply chains of allies. The piece quotes Minako Morita-Jaeger, who highlights how the deal sets a dangerous precedent. "The Biden administration also wanted to reduce China's dominance, but Trump is really taking a different approach," says Minako. “Biden tried to do that by working with allies. Trump uses power and coercion. This deal sets a precedent that allows the U.S. to use these kinds of agreements to force other countries to adopt the White House's economic security priorities."
