00:00Madam Deputy Speaker, President Trump is acting like an international gangster.
00:06Threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally,
00:10threatening the end of NATO altogether.
00:14The President of the United States is attacking our economy,
00:17our livelihoods and our national security.
00:21He is a bully.
00:23He thinks he can grab whatever he wants using force if necessary.
00:28And he is corrupt.
00:31The most corrupt President the United States has ever seen.
00:35Madam Deputy Speaker, President Trump is acting like an international gangster.
00:41Threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally,
00:45threatening the end of NATO altogether,
00:49and now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies
00:53with outrageous damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland.
00:59This is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe and our world.
01:06Without provocation or justification, the President of the United States is attacking our economy,
01:14our livelihoods and our national security.
01:18Trump has put British businesses and jobs on the front line in his unprovoked aggression.
01:25The only people cheering him on are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
01:30Only a few months ago, Trump hailed the special relationship at Windsor Castle.
01:38Now, thanks to his actions, it is nearly in tatters.
01:43So how do we stop Trump's damaging trade war?
01:47For a year now, Madam Deputy Speaker, the Prime Minister has tried a policy of appeasing Trump,
01:53flattering him, fawning over him, refusing to stand up to him,
01:58because, he argued, otherwise Trump would hit us with damaging tariffs.
02:04Well, the Prime Minister has tested his approach to destruction.
02:08It has failed.
02:10It is time for the government to change course.
02:14We have to finally be clear-eyed about the sort of man Trump is and treat him accordingly.
02:21He is a bully.
02:23He thinks he can grab whatever he wants, using force if necessary.
02:28And he is corrupt.
02:30The most corrupt President the United States has ever seen.
02:35So there are only two ways of getting him to back down.
02:39Bribing him, with a new jet perhaps, or a few billion in his crypto account.
02:44Or standing up to him, like we would with any other bully.
02:49Standing together with our European allies to make him back down.
02:54That's the choice.
02:56Which one, Foreign Secretary?
