This is an interesting and curiously unmentioned diplomatic contrast.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a two-hour dinner with President Donald Trump after the U.K leader delivered a speech to the United Nations in New York. However, intentionally unnoticed by U.S. media, the Prime Minister immediately left the U.S. following the lengthy meeting with President Trump, and never met with Kamala Harris.
The extensive discussion and dinner took place in New York, apparently at Trump Tower. There is an aspect of typical British worry woven throughout British media reporting on the meeting because U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, also attended the meeting. Lammy once called President Trump a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath.”
Undoubtably, when the priority of the dinner is overlaid with the U.K position on Ukraine; keep in mind a meeting with Zelenskyy followed the next morning; PM Starmer appears a little worried. There is a massive amount of geopolitical embarrassment possible right around the corner when, not if, President Trump wins – and the position of the British govt toward Ukraine leaves them dancing alone when the music stops.
CONTEXT: Chairman Xi is big geopolitically, driven mostly by his economic position. President Putin has become bigger geopolitically as a result of his smart post-sanction moves, in combination with his increasing economic position. Heck, even Mohammed Bin Salmon (Saudi Arabia) and Narendra Modi (India) are now big in a world of stupidly applied Bidenomics. However, when you consider the dynamic of actually using economic leverage as THE truest aspect of geopolitical power, President Trump is GODZILLA.
Starmer and the rest, eh, lol. Prime Minister Keir Starmer meeting with President Trump is what might be called, ‘risk mitigation‘. And people were wondering why Ric Grenell was present beside Donald Trump for the past few days. lolol… {{¹Hint}}
BBC, UK – Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has met up with Donald Trump for the first time.
He had a two-hour dinner with the former US President at his New York base – Trump Tower.
The pair were joined by Foreign Secretary David Lammy for the meeting.
The Prime Minister said it was “good” he had the opportunity to meet the Republican presidential candidate and that it was “really to establish a relationship between” the two of them.
A UK government source said that Keir Starmer had “welcomed” the opportunity to meet the former president.
It added that the pair had “discussed the longstanding friendship between the UK and the US and the importance of continuing to develop the strong and enduring partnership between our two countries.” (link)
Gee…..
….. Why would Ric Grenell be in the key meetings with foreign leadership?

Hey, lol… I just notice the obvious!
As Tigger would say, “TTFN!”
