Keir Starmer flies home a happy man after passing first Special Relationship test with Trump
@Source: thesun.co.uk
AS love-ins go, that will take some beating - Sir Keir Starmer flew home a happy man last night.
Beautiful! Special! Golf! It was vintage Donald Trump.
Close to nauseating at some points, there was stroking of arms and stroking of one monster ego.
The President can be a temperamental and irritable menace at times, but he was in full gushing mode at the White House last night.
And the PM almost looked like he believed it when he said "it's good to know that we have a true friend in the Oval Office."
"I think you are trying to find a divide between us that does not exist," Sir Keir insisted at the first whiff of awkward questions.
The stakes could not be higher, and with the help of a trump card in the shape of King Charles, his visit could barely have gone better.
His controversial Chagos deal was all but rubber stamped, and the pain of tariffs looks set to be avoided with new trade talks.
While Trump softened his tone on Ukraine, there is still a muddle lingering however on what protections the US really are willing to provide.
