How To Deal With Trump (and the EU)

Keir Starmer insists that Britain doesn鈥檛 have to pick between the US and Europe, so how should he deal with the president?

The prime minister has rejected the idea that Britain will have to choose between Brussels and Washington, but with the US president threatening the European Union and other allies with tariffs, how should Keir Starmer deal with him?

And what should he do about Donald Trump saying he wants the US to 鈥渢ake over鈥 Gaza and turn it into 鈥渢he Riviera of the Middle East鈥, which would mean resettling the almost two million Palestinians who live there.

Nick and Amol are joined by the senior Labour MP and chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee Emily Thornberry, and Raoul Ruparel who was a special advisor to Theresa May on trade and Brexit.
