Starmer to meet Trump for the first time
BBC News ^ | September 26, 2024 | Chris Mason and Isabella Allen

The Prime Minister will meet former US president Donald Trump later.

It will be the first time Sir Keir Starmer has met the Republican candidate for US president.

Sir Keir is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, but will make time to meet Trump at his New York base - Trump Tower.

The prime minister said it was “good” he had the opportunity to meet the Republican presidential nominee and that it was “really to establish a relationship between the two of us”.

Speaking ahead of their meeting, Mr Trump said of the PM: "I actually think he’s very nice. He ran a great race, he did very well, it’s very early, he’s very popular."

Sir Keir will not meet the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, on this trip.

They have not met before either.

He has previously said he would like to see both candidates ahead of the US presidential election on 5 November.

The prime minister said he “obviously” still wants to speak to Vice-President Kamala Harris, but that there were the “usual diary challenges”.

Foreign leaders suddenly interested in meeting with Trump. Hedging their bets? Or do they know something? Time will tell.

Ok, this is the third post in a row where I have double posted. Anyone have any advice on what I’m doing wrong or how to make it stop? First time I’ve had this issue since 2002.

Could be my internet connection. I’m using Starlink and there’s a hurricane outside.

I do not consider Starmer a sincere representative of Britain. Favors muzzies over the citizens of Britain just as our own federal government is doing here.

Sounds like how Direct TV Satellite misfires too. Here in Florida we are getting fiber optics laid in the neighborhood. Seems competitive with Spectrum

4th?

Don’t tap the Post button repeatedly & quickly. When I get the sense it didn’t post, I review the article in a separate window to make sure.

I’m only clicking once. I think I’ve narrowed down the issue to the mouse itself.
