DONALD TRUMP’S punitive tariffs will further harm economies already unable to pay garment workers fair wages, a British workers’ rights organisation has warned.

Anna Bryher, from Labour Behind the Label, said the group is deeply concerned about the potential impact of the US president’s new tariffs on Asian economies such as Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Vietnam — key garment-producing nations already struggling to ensure fair wages and social protections for workers.

Her comments came as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called for “cool heads” amid a fresh wave of market volatility sparked by the tariffs.
