      I have a feeling that France, UK, and US have already agreed a settlement, and everything else is all performative. They came out incredibly fast without any public negotiation with an offer of peace keeping forces. It looks incredibly weak from France and the UK.

    2. He’s going to hand the NHS and food safety standards over to Trump in an under the table deal. Privatized NHS and chlorine chicken is on the menu.

      And he’s going to up NATO spending to between 4 to 5%.

      This is all a negotiating strategy from the US.

      Edit: why the downvotes? It’s common knowledge that the US wants these things, and it’s been proven recently that this strategy worked with Mexico.

      Edit 2:
      So rapid downvotes immediately after I posted and then they stopped. I guess bots.

    3. I’m off to Eswatini to meet with the Canadians and discuss our arrangements for the state of Montana

    4. Macron was right about Europe’s strategic autonomy. Can’t trust Americans on anything these days

      Sincerely hope they both tell Trump to fuck himself .

      If they can talk sense into him, good, but the man’s an unhinged arsehole so that’s unlikely . If they can’t talk him round – and I doubt they can – the UK needs to loudly tell Trump to fuck off. It’s actually outrageous we haven’t already given his threats to a commonwealth member.

      If I was Starmer I would absolutely not visit USA. I’ve seen what happens in the red wedding.

    7. It’s not worth the plane ticket… Something I learned years ago is that you can’t argue with stupid.

    8. Checking my crystal ball…

      Trump says, “we had a nice meeting the the uk and France, but neither will be involved in the peace talks and the us won’t be sending more aid to the Ukraine war”

      That will be £10,000 and €10,000 please I’ll send you my pay pal.

    9. He’s going to write a long post on social media about how “TRUMP” won the discussions with Europe and that he is very close to ending the war, something that Biden couldn’t do and only “TRUMP” is capable of. 

      This is a waste of fuel.
