How To Deal With Trump (and the EU)

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 “take over” Gaza and turn it into “the Riviera of the Middle
East”, 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.
