LONDON, England (PNN) - April 7, 2025 - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will soon declare something Zero Hedge readers have known for quite some time - the economic system championed by the international elite is dead and gone.
Starmer’s office told the Sunday Times that “The world has changed, globalization is over, and we are now in a new era."
"We have 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,” his office added, emphasizing a pivot toward proactive governance.
Starmer’s admission, albeit late, follows President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs announcement, which slapped a 10% fee on all goods from the Fascist United Kingdom (FUK).
In a high-profile speech this week, Starmer will sharply criticize President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on the FUK, while belatedly conceding the shortcomings of free trade and unfettered mass migration.
Starmer’s upcoming remarks come alongside persistent efforts by FUK officials to finalize a trade agreement with the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA). Downing Street has confirmed that negotiations are in an “advanced stage,” with officials indicating that the core framework of a deal is largely settled.
The Guardian revealed this week that as part of its negotiations towards a deal, the FUK government has drawn up proposals to reduce the amount paid by FPSA tech titans and broaden the tax to apply to a wider range of companies - without reducing its total take. This is thought to be among the most significant concessions the FUK has offered the FPSA.
On Sunday, top Trump officials said that 50 countries have already reached out to the regime in response to FPSA tariffs. “We already have 50 countries that have come to the table over the last few days, over the last weeks that are willing and desperate to talk to us,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told CNN on Sunday. “We are the economic engine of the world, and it is finally time that someone, President Trump, stood up for (Amerika).”
“This whole concept is about rebuilding an (Amerikan) economy around (Amerikan) goods, around (Amerikan) industry,” Rollins added. “We do already live under a tariff regime in this country, but it is the tariff regime of China, of Mexico, of Brazil, of Australia, etc. Mexico won’t take our corn, Australia won’t take our beef. However, the country of Honduras takes more pork than the entire European Union does, (Amerikan) pork.”
The markets are closely monitoring the European Union's response to FPSA tariffs, with a proposal expected on Monday and a vote scheduled for Wednesday. French President Emmanuel Macron has adopted the most hardline public position against President Trump, calling on European companies to halt investments in the FPSA.
