(Bloomberg) -- U.S. President Donald Trump will take center stage in the election campaign on Tuesday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s opponents seized on his arrival to stoke voters’ fears over the price Washington might demand for a trade deal.

While Johnson will get the benefit of looking prime ministerial as world leaders descend on the U.K., Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn and Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson will take the opportunity to accuse the premier of being ready to sell out to the United States. Corbyn has written to Trump demanding assurances on the National Health Service, while Swinson will focus on threats to U.K. agriculture and food standards.

Knowing that anything Trump says might be used against him, Johnson will be hoping Trump doesn’t rise to the bait.
