Donald Trump was labeled a ‘dangerous, destructive demagogue’ by the organization’s leader Liberal Democrats on Wednesday,

Sir Ed Davey said the Republican candidate’s victory in the US election was a “dark, dark day for people all over the world.”

The Kingston and Surbiton MP did not congratulate the new president-elect as he made a political comeback.

Reacting to the news that Trump had been defeated Democrat Kamala Harris in the race for the White House, Sir Ed said: “The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

“The next President of the United States will be a man who is actively undermining the rule of law, human rights, international trade, climate action, and global security.

“Millions of Americans – especially women and minorities – will be incredibly afraid of what comes next. We stand with them.”

He added: “Families across the UK will also be concerned about the damage Trump will do to our economy and our national security, given his record of starting trade wars, undermining the NATO and encouraging tyrants like Putin.

“Repairing Britain’s broken relationship with the EU is even more urgent than before. We need to strengthen trade and defense cooperation across Europe to help protect ourselves from the damage Trump will do.

“Now more than ever, we must stand up for the core liberal values ​​of equality, democracy, human rights and the rule of law – at home and around the world.”

The words echoed those of Sadiq Khan, who warned that many Londoners will be “worried” about Donald Trump election and “afraid of what it will mean for democracy.”
