SIR - Donald Trump was pleased when the UK voted 'out' in the EU referendum, as a businessman he saw Europe as a strong contender to US business interests, claiming that the US and the UK had a special relationship, though its always been on the American President's terms.

Now he has slapped tariffs on our steel and car industries which will lead to thousands of job losses in this country.

The EU is the only economy big enough to stand up to Trump and our withdrawal next year leads us into a weaker world position.

The danger of trade wars is that they can get out of hand and lead to military war and as Trump keeps reminding the world his button is bigger than ours.

The Tory Government supports the Trump administration but we the people don't have to and we should all now protest and demonstrate at his proposed visit to the UK on July 13.
