One In Four Brits See Trump As 'More Dangerous Than Terror Groups'

President Donald Trump A quarter of Britons believe Donald Trump presents the greatest threat to the UK’s national interests, according to a new poll.The Good Growth Foundation think-tank found that 24% of the British public think the unpredictable US president is more dangerous than terrorist organisations (22%).Only Russia beat Trump in the poll, with 34% of Brits seeing Moscow as the largest risk to the UK.That’s a blow to Downing Street, considering Trump is expected to confirm a long-awaited economic trade deal with Britain this afternoon. Labour is hoping any such agreement would grant the UK some exemptions to Trump’s sweeping 10% tariffs on foreign imports and his 25% levy on cars and aluminium.But the Good Growth Foundation found almost half of Brits (47%) think Trump will also worsen the UK’s economy.A similar proportion (45%) fear the US president will damage UK safety and security.If the deal is announced today, it suggests Keir Starmer’s attempts to build strong relations with Trump since the July general election have paid off.This closer alliance does not necessarily mean he will win over more of the public though.The Good Growth Foundation found that 29% of the public and 25% of Labour voters who have switched to Reform UK say the worst thing about the party’s leader Nigel Farage is his closeness to the US president.The think-tank said Trump’s behaviour since his inauguration – including his perceived sympathy with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and his new protectionist economic policies – have pushed more members of the public towards the EU again.Nearly two in three Brits are more likely to agree that Trump’s presidency means “it’s imperative that we join forces with the EU” than with the sentiment that the new White House “creates a big opportunity” for Britain.Related...Donald Trump To Announce 'Major Trade Deal' With UK In Boost For Keir Starmer'It's Modern Day Appeasement': Joe Biden Slams Donald Trump Over Ukraine WarDowning Street Hits Back At Trump Tariff Chief's Claim UK Is China's 'Compliant Servant'
