Starmer, Trump, and the New World Order

After a week of meetings with foreign leaders, Amol and Nick dissect Starmer鈥檚 strategy on the world stage.

Sir Keir Starmer has been quick to meet with a host of world leaders since entering Downing Street. After his in-person meeting with Joe Biden, and a personal phone call to Donald Trump, Amol and Nick dissect how the new PM will navigate 鈥榯he special relationship鈥 in turbulent times.

And closer to home, European leaders are meeting this week in Blenheim Palace. Baroness Cathy Ashton, the EU鈥檚 former foreign policy chief, joins Nick and Amol in the studio to give insight on Starmer鈥檚 strategy. How will he fulfil Labour鈥檚 manifesto pledge to forge an 鈥榠mproved and ambitious relationship with our European partners鈥? And what will EU leaders want in return?

Plus, Radio 1鈥檚 Greg James drops by to give his moment of the week and pay tribute to England cricketer Jimmy Anderson following his retirement.
