Following Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs, Sir Keir Starmer had discussions with business leaders. Concerns have been raised by investors that the trade war initiated by Trump could lead Britain into a debt crisis reminiscent of Greece's situation. The massive debt of £2.7 trillion in the UK, exceeding the size of the economy, poses a risk given the potential impact of Trump's tariffs on the global economy. Neil Robson of Columbia Threadneedle highlighted that Britain's current financial state resembles that of Greece before its debt crisis, emphasizing the importance of growth rates exceeding interest costs to prevent a negative economic spiral. Trump's tariffs have already caused significant market losses and lowered growth predictions globally. The UK's financial stability was dependent on anticipated economic growth, but these forecasts have been disrupted by the trade war initiated by the US president. If market confidence in the UK's economic strategy diminishes, the bond markets could turn against the country, resulting in higher borrowing costs during a crucial period.
