Sir Keir Starmer warned Donald Trump on Monday night that he would not side with America against the EU, despite calls from the president-elect’s allies to choose between Brussels and Washington.
In a major foreign policy speech, the Prime Minister said it was “plain wrong” to suggest that Mr Trump’s return to the White House meant Britain had to get closer either to Europe or the US.
He vowed instead to build bridges to both, promising to “invest more deeply than ever in this transatlantic bond with our American friends”, and to “rebuild our ties with Europe too”.
The speech included overtures to Mr Trump, with the Prime Minister stressing the need to prepare Ukraine for peace negotiations and calling on Europe to spend more on defence.
Since Mr Trump’s resounding victory in the US presidential election last month, there has been debate about whether Sir Keir must now embrace America or Europe.
Some of the Republican’s allies have waded into the argument, with Stephen Moore, his senior economic adviser, saying the UK must reject the EU’s “socialist model”.
Sir Keir has faced pressure from within his own party to reject Mr Trump and rebuild ties with the EU. However, in his speech to the Lord Mayor’s Banquet in London on Monday evening, the Prime Minister rejected the “either/or” choice.

Tell ya what: You do EU.
Desperate Starmer needs a bogyman badly
He’s a commie, Jim.....
Never thought you would you pr.ck.
Lot of buyer’s remorse in the Uk right now.
Two-tiered Keir is not interested in making Britian great again. He is being paid too much to subjugate the natives.
I thought you had to live in a "major country" to give a "major foreign policy speech"?
Poor Sir Keir. He still thinks Britain can play the balance of power game on the international stage. Sorry, pal. The times have changed. It’s not 1850 anymore.
Delusional psychopath.
Right. Isn’t England a colony of Pakistan now?
OK, UK...... ditch the commie or you’re on your own. Double that for the surrender monkey French or the always-one-step-away-from-fascism Germans. Eff ‘em all!
We’ve spent way too much blood and treasure on Europe’s behalf. Be allies, or be damned.
Trump to British People:
“We threw out our trash; you can too. And we will help You do so.”
He’s finished. Grasping at straws at this point.
And no one cares. 😏
Brits. Pfffft. Stick to bland food and fixing your bad teeth.
The Maoists are in charge in Britain now...and will be for another 4.5 years. Of course they’re gonna side with Europe’s Maoists.
What do they have left of their great past that makes them a helpful ally?
Yes,he might be finished but his party isn’t. They have a huge majority in Parliament so if he goes they’ll select someone at least as bad...if not worse.
