(PA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nSo Trump made it clear that he did not want anything to interfere with that and was willing to be much more amenable to the UK.<\/p>\n
In the process, it gave space for Starmer to build his relationship with the US president and earn his status internationally as a \u201cTrump whisperer\u201d.<\/p>\n
Going forward, the plan to send the King, or perhaps Prince of Wales, on a state visit for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on 4 July is perhaps now even more important for Trump and what he sees as his legacy.<\/p>\n
So as diplomatic tensions mount and the threat of tariffs increases, this visit and whether it goes ahead will be highly significant.<\/p>\n
If the UK is in recession because of Trump tariffs and the Nato alliance has collapsed over the US president\u2019s demands for Greenland, then it seems impossible for a senior royal to roll up and essentially give the US president their blessing.<\/p>\n
Of course, there would be a delicious irony of a British monarch refusing to attend an event to mark the occasion of revolutionaries ending the rule of his predecessor George III.<\/p>\n
But the threat that the visit might not happen may even at this stage be enough to stay Trump\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
There is a risk though. Trump is not a man who takes being slighted lying down. If a royal state visit is cancelled he will take it personally and things could get much worse.<\/p>\n
And it is not as if brandishing royalty at Trump has helped hugely with international issues like Ukraine or the Middle East.<\/p>\n
As ever, Sir Keir has a difficult tightrope to walk in the diplomatic turbulence of the Trump presidency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
