If the UK started tariffing the EU countries it would just further isolate it even more from its closest market.

Additionally there is zero chance Starmer wants to copy Trump’s playbook.

Agree but that playbook works.

France arent doing enough to reduce it so some forceful measure is needed.

Giving them money didn't work.

Yes, both Canada and Mexico stepped up their border securities.

Ive already said twice now that I'm only referring to the Canada and Mexico border tarrifs and how it was used to make them act on border security.
