Don't let Trump interfere with UK democracy, Davey tells PM3 hours ago Share Save Becky Morton Political reporter Share SaveReutersLiberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has urged the prime minister to stand up to Donald Trump, describing the US president's new national security strategy as "deeply alarming".
Sir Ed called on the PM to "make it clear to President Trump that any attempts to interfere with our democracy are totally unacceptable".
In response, Sir Keir Starmer avoided criticising the US President, instead saying he would always stand up for Europe's "longstanding values of freedom and democracy".
So will the prime minister pick up the phone and make it clear to President Trump that any attempts to interfere with our democracy are totally unacceptable?"
Sir Ed hit back: "I didn't hear about standing up to President Trump."
