During Prime Minister's Questions yesterday, 6 November, Ed Davey MP questioned the Prime Minister on how the Government will stand up to the challenges Britain will face following Donald Trump being elected the 47th President of the United States of America.

During Prime Minister's Questions, Kingston and Surbiton MP, Ed Davey, said: "President-elect Trump praised Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. He called it "genius"." 

 "He also said that he would encourage Russia "to do whatever the hell they want" to NATO allies, so what action is the Prime Minister taking to encourage a Trump presidency to change its mind?

"Otherwise, it is a huge threat to global security, and national security in the UK.

"Does the Prime Minister agree that, if the US will not oppose President Putin and support our brave Ukrainian allies, the UK must lead in Europe, so that together we do?"

"He calls himself 'Tariff Man'. 

 "People are really worried that Trump's trade wars and tariffs will damage our economy, damage businesses, and hit the cost of living here in the UK. 

 "Given that, does the Prime Minister recognise that it is more urgent than ever that we support our British economy by getting rid of the damaging trade barriers with Europe put in place by the Conservatives?'
