Summary

Stephen Moore, a senior economic adviser to US president-elect Donald Trump, urged the UK to adopt the US “free enterprise” model over Europe’s “more socialist” system, suggesting it would enhance the Trump administration’s “willingness” to pursue a UK-US trade deal.

Moore also defended US agricultural practices and Trump’s proposed 10% blanket import tariff, noting possible exemptions for allies like the UK.

UK leaders, including Keir Starmer, face pressure to balance trade ties with both the EU and US, with figures like Peter Mandelson advocating dual trade agreements amid Brexit challenges.

    Oh boy, he’s going after the NHS like he tried a couple of years ago. Brits need to fight this and don’t fall for our predatory private healthcare system that prioritizes money over human lives.

    I don’t mind working with the US even with Trump leading, but the EU is clearly a natural partner. They’re right at our doorstep.

    What is more worrying is what Trump thinks of the EU. This guy is a threat to democracy and international law.

    And the worst is that much of the democratic party is shifting more to the right in their pursuit of voters.

    This world is completely screwed with politicians like Trump in power.

      In there pursuit of being a more effective controlled opposition. Voters didn’t ask for this. Harris ran a conservative campaign and loss on that. Don’t let the democrats blame the left for their loss.

    Trumps knowledge of the EU is solely what Farage tells him. Or should I say, whispers to him after rubbing his belly.

    Isn’t Afd the far right German party in power currently? Brothers of Italy seems to hate trans people or at least Giorgia Meloni does.

    This dude’s a piece of shit grifter and treating listeners like marks.

      Afd gathered significant votes, but they’re far from in power in the country. They are in power in one… you could say county, but they’re fucking up as we speak.
