Wales needs to forge closer economic alignment with Europe and avoid being a casualty of President Trump’s trade wars, Plaid Cymru’s Westminster Leader Liz Saville Roberts MP has said.
Responding to a YouGov poll which shows that every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales wants the UK Government to prioritise trade with the EU over the US, Liz Saville Roberts MP said:
“Gaining unfettered access to the single market and customs union is simply economic common sense.
“With President Trump back in the White House and threatening to impose punitive tariffs on exports to the US, Keir Starmer and his Labour government should be looking to forge closer economic ties with Europe as a matter of urgency.
“The findings of a YouGov poll published today shows that the public are in favour of prioritising trade with the EU over the US so what is the Prime Minister waiting for?
“Plaid Cymru has always defended and promoted our nation’s economic interests, and we will do everything in our power to prevent Wales from becoming a casualty of Trump’s potentially devastating trade wars.”
