Trump advisor warns EU and UK against deepening trade ties with China

US President Donald Trump's trade advisor recently warned the European Union and the UK against deepening their trade relations with China during a media interview.

Peter Navarro, Trump's trade advisor, emphasized in a recent interview with The Daily Telegraph that the European Union and the UK should not deepen their trade relations with China simply to gain advantage, warning that this could complicate tariff talks between the US government, the EU, and the UK. He emphasized the need for both sides to resist becoming a market for dumped Chinese products.

According to related reports, the British government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is seeking to remove the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Britain has continued to strengthen its trade relations with China and Europe while maintaining its relationship with the United States, but this policy could ultimately force it to choose sides.

Peter Navarro noted that trade agreement talks between the UK and the US are progressing rapidly, but warned that the British government will pay a price if it cannot resolve issues such as food safety standards.

He also stressed that if Britain or any other country in the world attempted to raise tariffs to protect its economic sectors, the United States would not allow it. According to available information, the United States is currently Britain's largest export market.
