In a major policy shift that could have global implications, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to publicly declare the failure of globalization and signal support for President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. According to a report by The Times, Starmer plans to announce on Monday that the era of global free trade has failed working-class citizens and that a new economic era has begun.
This revelation comes as a massive win for Trump’s economic nationalism, validating his stance on protectionist trade policies and domestic industry revitalization.
“Globalisation doesn’t work for a lot of working people. We don’t believe trade wars are the answer. This is a chance to show that there’s a different path,” Starmer said, as quoted by The Times.
Trump’s Tariffs Gaining Global Recognition
While Starmer emphasized that he doesn’t fully support trade wars, he made it clear that he understands the popularity behind Trump’s tariff strategies.
“Trump has done something that we don’t agree with, but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this. The world has changed, globalisation is over and we are now in a new era,” a Downing Street official noted.
Starmer’s upcoming remarks are expected to address the economic impact of U.S. tariffs, including supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and the restructuring of trade alliances. He will urge the UK government to move quickly with supply-side reforms to support domestic growth.

UK Shifts Toward Economic Reform and Industrial Strategy
The UK’s Labour government is planning several pro-growth measures, such as:
- Reducing regulations for electric vehicle manufacturers.
- Accelerating the UK’s industrial strategy.
- Pursuing new trade agreements with countries like India and Australia.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is scheduled to meet with Indian officials this week for an economic dialogue, aiming to fast-track a trade deal that could cushion the UK’s economy amid global trade realignments.
Starmer: Acknowledging Economic Nationalism Without Embracing Tariffs
Though Starmer opposes tariffs, his acknowledgment of their voter appeal is seen as a strategic pivot. His message is clear: free trade and globalization have not delivered for everyone, and a reformist, pro-worker government must fill that gap.
“We’ve got to demonstrate that our approach — a more active Labour government, a more reformist government — can provide the answers for people in every part of this country,” a Downing Street insider told The Times.
This is a remarkable turnaround for a nation once firmly entrenched in the ideals of open markets and multilateral trade. It marks a significant ideological overlap with America First-style policies, suggesting the world may be shifting toward a more sovereignty-focused economic model.
