King Charles extends invite to Trump for second state visit
ai generated text
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer handed US President Donald Trump a letter from King Charles III, inviting him for a state visit to Britain. The state visit is likely to be a significant event, with discussions on various topics such as the Ukraine war, NATO, and tariffs expected to be on the agenda.
We are a government of pragmatists, not ideologues, and we have had to balance the compassion of our internationalism with the necessity of our national security..
At times like this the defense and security of the British people must always come first, that is the number one priority of this Government.
We look forward to being there and honouring the king, honouring the country.
This is the latest embarrassing step in Starmer's attempts to toady to Trump and provide a cloak of respectability to Trumpism.
Over the coming weeks and months, can a deal be done where the war stops, Ukraine does not feel defeated, Europe does not feel imperilled and transatlantic relations are as near to conventional as possible? It is not going to be easy. The prime minister's trip to the White House is but one building block in developing answers to these questions.
