"No two countries work as closely as ours." Why is Trump invited for a second state visit when Canada - a country where The King is also head of state - is enduring tense trade relations with them? Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall ask Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer This whole „close relationship/ special relationship“ thing is sooo overblown, so old hat..and to a large extent non-existent.

Do you support President Trump's using tarrifs on imports to negotiate with other countries?

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Jon Sopel listing off what Trump has actually done, that no other president has done here, was excellent 😂 @jonsopel

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Client journalists

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Sadly @Keir_Starmer completely avoids the question which wasn't does he trust 🇺🇸 but does he trust @realDonaldTrump ? Clearly given the latter's narcissistic megalomania the point will come where he has to acknowledge that no sensible leader can!

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @Keir_Starmer He is one of two things. A. A lying bastard B. He wants what trump wants. Either way he can not be trusted

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @Keir_Starmer Sir Keir is playing a clever game, he knows deep down that we are dealing with a petulant child who can’t be trusted, the moment he says so, he’s lost to trump, he is playing the long game of stroking the ego, he is doing it for the UK. Saying he doesn’t trust him, we lose out.

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Thank you for asking these questions. I’m a Canadian who values the royals but am pretty sad at the decision to give the state visit given the current threats to our sovereignty.

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer The majority of the UK'S public do not want Trump in the UK on a state visit however much Starmer keeps repeating "shared intelligence" & "special relationship" mantra. Legitimising Trump - convicted for rape & sexual abuse - send what sort of message ?

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Because sulking is a poor diplomatic tactic. Keeping it infantile lads, good to see the standards being maintained.

@jonsopel @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer So funny, the News Agent's activist journalists are so far left they nearly make Starmer seem normal.
