WKokon Keir Starmer is advised on how to deal with his key meeting with Donald Trump in the White House on Thursday, he will tell him counselors from Downing Street and a foreign office to be very clear on his main points and, above all, in short .
“Trump is very boring,” said a well-placed source of Whitehall with knowledge of the president’s attention. “When he loses interest and thinks that someone is boring, he just likes me. He doesn’t like (French president, Emmanuel) a macron partly because Macron is negotiating too and trying to teach him.”
The starmer will also advise that a flattering trumpet when he can say that everyone is so grateful that he focused attention to the world’s need for peace between Russia and Ukraine. But to flatter subtly. And not to set it too thick.
One – Unconfirmed – The story from Therese May’s first visit to see Trump in the White House in 2017. The year again in Whitehall circles before the StarMove Travel, and is used as a care for the current prime minister.
“When he first went to see Trump, she was told he had to congratulate him on a lot of things,” said one source.
“So she rushed towards him and congratulated him on new cabinet meetings, saying,” You set up a great team, Donald. ‘
“In which point he said, ‘Oh thank you very much, Theresa – who do you especially like among them?’ Who left her a little bit, so she just said, ‘Oh, well, everyone, everyone, Donald.’ “
A lesson that is too flattery can introduce you to problems if you don’t make your homework.
Dealing with and replying, Trump in its self-renovated role as an ultra prooftable will be a global peacekeeper requires other leaders of the world to perform almost-impossible balancing works when framing their answers.
Many American Presidents Conflict Reports in Ukraine, such as suggesting that Ukraine was responsible for Russian invasion and that its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, dictator, including British, as well as patent crazy.
However, at the same time no one can say so for fear of what the man who said that these things would be done next and which revenge can in turn.
Peter Ricketts, a former ambassador in the UK in Paris, said the starmer was entering in Trump Rhetoric. “You should focus not to what Trump says, but what is he doing. He needs to enter Trump’s mind that he is a racial job with (Vladimir) with the heads of Ukraine / Europe to be a contract that serves Putin’s interests, and that Putin will be seen as strong and trump weak. “
The second senior source in the UK agreed, saying that the starter was needed to pass that Trump would pass that he would be the only thing he would stop him in history by gaining a great peace that was not seen as a “fair job.” “It should be done with a hull to think that his success rests on not giving way, because if he seems to be weak,” the source said.
Although the interconnient cutting mud, political leaders in the UK had a painful for a few days trying to adapt to Trump’s barrage of remarks, and the latest was the starter or macron – which will be in the White House Monday – did anything Note to excel war in Ukraine.
Even Nigel Farage, who is proud of Trump and Republicans, had to draw a cloud of deliberately confusion around his own answers, so he could claim to distance his intervention at the same time.

Speaking of heavenly news on Thursday about Trump’s statement that Zelensky was a dictator, the pharase said, “Take all the trump cards true, but not literally.”
Reform leader in the UK tried to claim that Trump “does not say literally that Ukraine began the war”, and instead he was focused on bringing peace. When, however, it was given that Trump told Zelenskyyyu: “You should never start that,” Then Pharage replied, “Okay, done. If you’re happy.”
With a public public public rectic critical commission in Zelensky and Ukraine – today’s opinion polls for Observer It shows that Trump Administration has an approval for -40% in Ukraine compared to -2% for the previous offer – Tory Badenoch, Kemi Badenoch also felt a company with Trump, tasty of the “President Zelensky is not a dictator”, though It supported him for the need for the European nations to increase the consumption of the defense.
About 61% of Tory voters do not agree with Trump Administration in Ukraine, so Badenoch does not express some reservations over the US presidents, it could have left in great trouble in his party.
Liberal Democrats, meanwhile, are looking for more seats and votes behind the “blue wall”, they noticed the opportunity as an anti-trump entertainment. Kalub Miller, spokesman with external jobs, said Lib Dems is obliged to advocate people in his election unit and others who flew in Ukrainian flags in his villages and took up in Ukrainian refugees.
“It is our role to be their voice in parliament,” he said “to say that the Trump Narcissist Narcissist who should not be trusted.”
Government sources proposed on Saturday Nightthat Starmer would probably try to talk to the macro on Sunday before French president fly to Washington, to agree the wide outline of the European position.
But another higher source said that the last thing the starmer should do when he meets, trying to speak for Europeans or represent a European position.
“Trump clearly said what he thinks about European leaders (last) weeks. The starmer must be his man, to say that the United Kingdom was the first country to send troops to Ukraine and do its essential.
“If he does, he also manages to convince Trump that he will look a terrible world if he allows the path just to get everything he wants, it could be a big moment for him.”
