Listen "The Trump Whisperer?"
Episode Synopsis
Keir Starmer has made a point of cosying-up to President Trump - even bringing him to the UK for an unprecedented second state visit - but does it actually make any difference to relations between London and Washington? Is the UK a useful ally? A client state? Or a quaint irrelevance in a world dominated by China, Russia and India? And is the rush of tech investment any more than a way of cementing the power of US tech giants in Britain? David Hastings Dunn, Professor of International Politics at the University of Birmingham, tells Phil and Roger it’s going to be hard for the UK to stay friends with a volatile leader like Donald Trump.
