57% : Brexit cost the country 5.5 percent of its G.D.P., according to a 2022 study by the Center for European Reform, a research center in London.
54% : His deal with President Trump was the first Mr. Trump made with any country since imposing across-the-board tariffs on dozens of trading partners.
49% : Adding to the challenge: One of these giants, the United States, has thrown out the rule book governing global trade.
48% : Mr. Rahman said that in trade negotiations, Britain was being "squeezed between a very mercantilist E.U. and a very predatory, hostile U.S." The European Union, he noted, views the deal Mr. Starmer negotiated with Mr. Trump as a bad one, which it does not plan to replicate.
