Buy British
Help support great British businesses and counter Trump's tarriffs
People are worried about Donald Trump’s trade war and want to know what they can do to help. The Government should launch a campaign to encourage people to Buy British and support our high streets, as part of a national effort to back British businesses.
The Liberal Democrats have called on the Government to launch a campaign urging people to “Buy British”, as part of a wider plan to boost businesses hit by the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
It comes after Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ in which he launched a raft of tariffs on countries around the globe, including 10% tariffs on UK exports and 25% tariffs on all automotive exports to the US.
The Liberal Democrats said the Government should launch a Buy British advertising campaign, to support British businesses and send a collective message that the country “won’t take Trump’s tariffs lying down.” The party also called for a new official “Made in Britain” logo available for those who wish to adopt it, to boost businesses from the UK’s world-leading car industry and clothes brands to local jam and cidermakers. The Liberal Democrats said it was crucial that this is bolstered with pro-business policies to reduce the cost of doing business and stimulate demand for British products.
