David Chadwick has urged the UK Government to stand up to Donald Trump’s “bullying behaviour”.
The Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe MP said in the House of Commons this week that “to say the very least” the US President’s actions in relation to Greenland and related sanctions on the UK are “not befitting of a trustworthy ally”.
He asked Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, if she now accepted that Mr Trump does not respond to weakness, and that, as Canada has shown, the UK must stand firm against this “bullying behaviour” and work more closely with its EU allies.
Ms Cooper said: “I would say that our strength, security and prosperity depend on things such as the NATO alliance, in which we work closely with our North American allies - the US and Canada - and our European allies.
“That strong relationship, and the fact that the UK works so strongly at the heart of that relationship, as opposed to rejecting one side or another, is what makes us stronger.”
