UK PM warned of trade war risk with Trump over potential Israel sanctions

The Times reports that British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been warned he risks a trade war with President Trump if he imposes sanctions on Israeli settlements. Labour Party MPs fear retaliatory US measures if Britain sanctions Israel following plans to build in the E1 area connecting Ma'ale Adumim and Jerusalem in Judea and Samaria. Washington recently criticized similar steps by Ireland, and Trump threatened a trade embargo on Spain over comparable actions.
