“Trump Is an ‘International Gangster’: UK Opposition Leader Ed Davey Warns He Threatens NATO, Allies, and Europe’s Economy”
January 20, 2026
A sitting UK opposition leader is saying out loud what many governments are afraid to admit.
Ed Davey warns that Trump isn’t just bullying rivals, he’s threatening allies, undermining NATO, and putting Europe’s economy on the front line of his chaos. When an ally starts acting like a mob boss, silence becomes complicity.
This isn’t America First.
It’s everyone else last.

English Script:
Ed Davey: President Trump is acting like an international gangster. He had threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally, threatening the end of NATO altogether. And now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies with outrageous damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland, this is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe and our world. Without provocation or justification, the president of the United States is attacking our economy, our livelihoods and our national security. Trump has put British businesses and jobs on the front line in his unprovoked aggression. The only people cheering him on are Vladimir Putin and XI Jinping. Only a few months ago, Trump hailed the special relationship at Windsor Castle. Now, thanks to his actions, it is nearly in tatters. So how do we stop Trump’s damaging trade war? For a year now, Madam Deputy Speaker, the Prime Minister has tried a policy of appeasing Trump, flattering him, fawning over him, refusing to stand up to him because he argued otherwise Trump would hit us with damaging tariffs. Well, the prime minister has tested his approach to destruction. It has failed. Yes, it is time for the government to change course. We have to finally be clear eyed about the sort of man Trump is and treat him accordingly. He is a bully. He thinks he can grab whatever he wants using force if necessary. And he is corrupt. The most corrupt President the United States has ever seen. So there are only two ways of getting him to back down. Bribing him with a new jet, perhaps, or a few billion in his crypto account, or standing up to him like we would with any other bully. Standing together with our European allies to make him back down, that’s the choice. Which one? Foreign Secretary?
