"No, he [Trump] doesn't know what he is doing, and I'm really worried that this American President is out of control. I say it with sadness because I've always regarded the Americans as a close ally of the UK. But under Donald Trump, they've become a very unreliable ally, both on the economy and on foreign policy."
"I've been arguing for well over a year that we need to stand up to Trump far, far more firmly, and I think the Prime Minister has been weak on that. We need to have another strategy for our country. We need to work with our European allies, with our Commonwealth allies far more."
"People are generally worried, and what I want to show is that the Liberal Democrats have answers and have the courage to stand up for Britain. Both for our economy to protect ourselves from the trade barriers being put up by Donald Trump, and also for our defence and security."
Ed Davey, Liberal Democrat leader, has called for stronger UK opposition to Donald Trump's policies and military actions, particularly regarding Iran operations. He criticizes Prime Minister Starmer for being insufficiently firm with the US President, describing Trump as "out of control" and expressing concern about economic impacts from trade barriers. Davey advocates for enhanced cooperation with European and Commonwealth allies to protect British interests in trade, defense, and security. He characterizes the US under Trump as an unreliable ally compared to historical relationships, while acknowledging recent signs of the Prime Minister taking a firmer stance.
