The question is, does Starmer deal with Trump and offer him the fealty he demands, in the hope that Trump will remove the sanctions and not engage in some other form of economic warfare?
Or does Starmer deal with the far bigger problem of the new economic, trade, defense and diplomatic reality that Trump has crated?
There never was any special relationship between the U.S. and the UK, it was always a self deception on the party of the British, but the U.S. was a reliable economic, trade, diplomatic and defense partner, that is no longer the case.
