Trump's 'unacceptable abuse of power'

Trump's 'unacceptable abuse of power' should be met with stronger challenge than that given by Starmer - Rhun ap Iorwerth

Responding to the Prime Minister's speech this morning, Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said:

“The threat to annex territory, coupled with the use of tariffs to bully allies into submission, is an unacceptable abuse of power and should be met with a far stronger challenge than that given by the Prime Minister this morning.

“Using economic coercion against democratic nations for defending collective security must be unequivocally condemned. International agreements cannot be treated as expendable when they become inconvenient.

“The future of Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland alone. Their right to self-determination must be upheld.

“With the United States acting in an increasingly chaotic and unpredictable way, the UK must deepen its ties with reliable allies in Europe, grounded in shared values, international law and mutual respect.“
