Why it is Groundhog Day for Starmer with Trump at the G7
WTen Keir Starmer came to talk to journalists at the British Supreme Commission in Ottawa on Sunday morning, and became a temporary distraction because one of the settled lands appeared.
However, in more than one way, the Prime Minister’s Canadian trip has the same feeling of “Groundhog Day ve and the continuous repetition of the events seen in the famous comedy film.
The G7 summit takes place on Monday and Tuesday with the world in Alberta. With the increasing crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, there is a lot to discuss the leaders of the world’s best democracies.
However, there are a number of problems to be revised for Starmer. In the flight, France, Germany, Italy and the EU representatives, illegal migration and the British channel about the ongoing problems about the ongoing problems that will keep a mini -esmis confirmed.
Although they had £ 400 million from the British taxpayer, it was very unhappy that the French police could not prevent immigrants from crossing the UK.
Defense secretary John Healey expressed his anger in recent weeks.
However, the Prime Minister said: “Look, one of the things we work hard is to develop relations with the French in relation to the work we need to do to stop the passage of these boats, which is definitely determined. Nobody should make this journey.
“As a result, we see more cooperation in Northern France. I want to see more cooperation in Northern France, and this is a matter that I have brought to the agenda with the President and I will raise it again. [Emmanuel] Macron.
“We have good relations between the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of the Interior, now we are working on jointly. One of these issues – not only with Macron, but with Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz et al.
Although the G7 summit will contain official sessions in Ukraine, Trade and the Middle East, most of the real work is held on eaves at most binary and group meetings.
For Starmer, this is the most important of the less official meetings, the first time since it was re -elected to the White House in November, he will have a conversation with Donald Trump, who will attend a G7 meeting for the first time.
Trump was in Canada for a G7 for the last time, in 2018, his team ordered the opening of a joint communiqué with a row with the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He threw everything into chaos. This time Trump opposes any joint communiqué.
In particular, Starmer does not seem to be sure that there will be any common expression. Instead, he wants to convince Trump not to harm his British interests. Last month, he wants the implementation of the agreement with the US President and a deadline on Wednesday.
If things are not accepted on Wednesday, the UK Steel can be hit with a 50 percent tariff instead of the zero tariff, which was previously agreed in too much air frame agreements.
Starmer said to journalists: ık We have shook the agreement and now we are in the application phase, this does not actually require any other shaking of the hand, but I am sure that the hand will have many shaking. So, we have reached the agreement and now we have implemented and this continues. ”
He asked if there was “business production ::“ Well, we are in the last stages. We had to do various things, they had to do various things, but I’m very sure we applied it. ”
But he will also defend with Trump. The duo will talk about the US President’s decision to review the AUKUS submarine agreement between the US, Britain and Australia.
Starmer seems to be sure that the White House can not pull the vital defense infrastructure to a vital part.
“Aukus is really important,” he said. “We are completely devoted to this. It is not unusual for a government to review such a project.
“But 100 percent I am committed to it, I am really my net.”
When asked if Trump is sure to support him at the end, “Yes, I think. It is a really important project, so I have no doubt that this will proceed.” He said.
But at least he may feel that he is among the friends in Starmer Canada. He talked about his proximity to Canada’s new prime minister Mark Carney.
Two on Saturday night, Carney’s favorite team Edmonton Oilers (lost) Stanley Cup Ice Hockey Final before watching the severity of dinner had dinner.
Body controls and ice crash, along with the incredible speed of the game, represented the expected diplomacy in the next two days. Starmer will have to be in the skates while dealing with forward ice patches.
