Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis received lackluster reviews from British business leaders on the final leg of his overseas trip, according to reports.
The Florida governor, who has continued to toy with the prospect of a 2024 presidential run, embarked on the overseas trip roughly one week ago. The trip was officially branded as an international trade mission to “discuss ways in which Florida can expand economic partnerships,” according to the governor’s office.
A handful of officials accompanied him, including Florida Secretary of Commerce Laura DiBella, as well as Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd and his wife, first lady Casey DeSantis. He kicked off the trip with a stop in Japan, also visiting South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom.
Notably, DeSantis made waves during his stop in Israel after signing anti-hate speech legislation while visiting the U.S. ally.
“In 2019, I had the opportunity here in Israel to sign into law groundbreaking legislation to root out antisemitism from our public education system, establishing Florida as a leader in protecting religious liberty,” the governor said in a statement.
“Four years later, the threats faced by religious Americans of all faiths have evolved. Through this legislation, we are ensuring that perpetrators who commit acts of antisemitism and target religious groups or individuals will be punished,” he added.
DeSantis visited the United Kingdom on the last leg of his trip, but according to Politico, he failed to garner rave reviews. During that trip, he met with “more than 50 representatives of major U.K. firms and business lobbying groups,” but many were unimpressed by the Sunshine State governor’s performance, describing it as “low-wattage” and “horrendous.”
Per Politico:
One U.K. business figure said DeSantis “looked bored” and “stared at his feet” as he met with titans of British industry in an event co-hosted

DeSantis is too conservative for EU.
Like we should care what someone from another country thinks of our politicians?
Failure to Launch. Gov. DeSantis stay in Florida and keep that state Red. 2024 is not your time. Stop listening to your Greedy TDS consultants and go back home to the state that needs you.
Lol.. when the opinions of socialist Europeanize start mattering to everyday Americans, we are beyond done.
Let me guess they love the prez with a record of lockdowns, big pharma billions, paying people to stay home.
Not surprising they support someone who say hey… I can’t do the math on social security, so let’s pay people to have children… cuz more spending is better.
Then supporting some Disney along with n Haley. Souls for sale.
I don’t remember business people saying Trump looked bored with them.
True, but Trump loved meeting with business leaders.

Trump IS a business leader. Those are his peers. He has far more in common with them than any politician.
I am thinking that most business leaders over there have fully embraced the whole Woke demands.
“Like we should care what someone from another country thinks of our politicians?”
Agree with you!
We should worry if they liked him.
Isn’t that the truth. Those people are are a lost cause.
👍 Tell him to fix our insurance while he’s at it.
I don’t live in Florida, but from what I heard, the reason he did so badly in his first election was that, while he’s a great governor, he was terrible at campaigning (and actually wasn’t up to speed on some Florida issues), somewhat like Bush Sr. when up against Clinton and Perot. Bummer, but another 4 years in Florida could REALLY help him.
Complete Made up BS .
Stop spreading Desantis Nonsense .
I have volunteered for the FL Gop for 30 Years .
2018 was a Trump Midterm Election Massive Wipe out in the US .
We lost the House and Massive number of Gov and state house races .
When Trump appeared somewhere it motivates DEM voters .
Desantis and the FL Gop finally asked Trump and Ronna Romney not to visit the state in 2018 .
Desantis and the FL Gop told Trump and Ronna to stay away in 2022 and we won Big .
Since then the Gop has lost 4 more election cycles since 2018 caused by Trump hate driving Dems to the Polls .
They didn’t like him either.
Seems the only ones they approve of are the globalist commie ones.
Their disapproval means to me, he’s the right guy.
He can't, he already promised Netanyahu that he'll run.
