Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure to guarantee UK MPs a vote on a potential trade deal with Donald Trump, amidst hopes of finalizing agreements with the US, EU, and India before a key EU summit on May 19. While some MPs express concerns over a rushed deal, Starmer stated that any agreement would follow established parliamentary procedures, although trade deals are primarily negotiated by the government. As negotiations progress, worries persist about possible concessions on UK food and animal welfare standards in exchange for tariff reductions from the US.
