Whatever Starmer agrees with Trump on trade, the trust is gone (The i Paper)

Article by The i Paper explores the question, “What concessions are Sir Keir Starmer prepared to offer Donald Trump when he strikes a trade deal with the US?” amidst his non-confrontational approach to Washington’s imposition of tariffs - 10% on goods exported to the US and 25% on UK car and steel exports. Rather than retaliate, Starmer is offering concessions on areas such as digital taxes and agriculture. Commenting on the broader implications, L. Alan Winters notes, “Trump has destroyed trust, and no one is going to get over that for a long time. People are not going to trust the US to be a reliable partner anymore, so we won’t ever restore the status quo and see trust return, or at least not this decade.”
