Brussels – After Ursula von der Leyen<\/strong>, it was British Prime Minister Keir Starmer<\/strong>‘s turn to meet Donald Trump<\/strong> during the latter’s visit to Scotland. It was a wide-ranging conversation, from the tariffs agreement just reached with the EU<\/strong> to the carnage Israel is carrying out in Gaza<\/strong>, via a new ultimatum to Vladimir Putin<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/strong> certainly didn’t leave the huddled journalists at the golf club in Turnberry, Scotland, not even for the second day in a row. After announcing yesterday<\/a> (27 July) together with Ursula von der Leyen<\/strong> the trade agreement<\/strong> with the European Union (he called it “the biggest deal ever made”, despite doubts<\/a> of several chancelleries among the Twenty-Seven), today the US president had a face-to-face with Her Majesty’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Trump also reserved some flattery for the Downing Street tenant, complimenting the latter’s “fantastic job”<\/strong> in securing<\/span> an even lower basic tariff<\/strong> than that offered in Brussels (10 per cent versus 15 per cent). “They have wanted a trade deal for years, many years,” recalled the tycoon, referring to the difficulties of successive cabinets in London since 2016 in finding a solution with Washington in the post-Brexit era<\/strong>, despite the special relationship between the two countries.<\/p>\n

But above all, the White House tenant had some rather sharp words to say on two of the international issues that most concern the United Kingdom and Europe as a whole. Firstly, on the immense massacre perpetrated by Israel in the Gaza Strip<\/strong> over the past 21 months, justified by Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> as a necessary response to the Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023<\/strong> but unjustifiable from the perspective of international law<\/strong> (to the point of having earned the leader of the Jewish state an arrest warrant<\/a> issued by the International Criminal Court<\/strong>). <\/p>\n

Just as at the UN headquarters in New York, the international conference on Palestine,<\/strong> co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, started<\/a>, between the Scottish hills, Trump and Starmer seemed to agree on the need to enforce a ceasefire<\/strong> immediately and urgently get humanitarian aid<\/strong> into the battered coastal enclave.<\/span> “We need to increase humanitarian aid<\/strong>,” the host noted, only to be answered by his guest that Washington is “ready to help”<\/strong> to resolve the “terrible situation<\/strong>” Gaza is in, working with the UK (which is already carrying out airlifts of foodstuffs over the Strip<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

“We must feed the children<\/strong>,” continued the tycoon, promising that the US will engage “even more” and provide “good and substantial food”<\/strong> to the civilian population, deliberately starved by the Israeli government, by ensuring the establishment of “food distribution centres<\/strong>.” The hope is that such operations will not result in dozens of Palestinians being murdered on a daily basis,<\/strong> as is now the case with the Gaza humanitarian foundation<\/strong>, the Israeli-US body that manages humanitarian aid (the kind that Tel Aviv lets in by the dropper<\/strong>, blaming the UN for its shortage). <\/p>\n

The images circulated in recent days show “people really starving, you can’t fake that<\/strong>“, Trump admits, apparently contradicting Netanyahu’s lies that “there is no hunger in Gaza<\/strong>“\u2014but without ever acknowledging<\/strong><\/span> the genocidal responsibilities of the Jewish state<\/strong>, which still remains Uncle Sam’s iron ally on the crucial Middle East chessboard. “Israel can do a lot<\/strong>” to get the Gaza residents the food they need, said the president, but it must be done “so that people can enter<\/strong> the Strip.”<\/span> <\/p>\n

Trump also seemed impatient on the subject of the ceasefire<\/strong>, claiming that he had pointed out to the Israeli PM that “now perhaps you will have to act differently<\/strong>” to “end this<\/strong>” and noting that a truce “is possible”<\/strong>, if only to bring home the twenty or so hostages still in the hands of Hamas<\/strong> (detention branded as “very unfair” by the Republican billionaire).<\/p>\n

As for the war in Ukraine, the US president took an even tougher stance toward his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin<\/strong>, saying he was \u201cvery disappointed<\/strong>\u201d in him. So much so that he retracted his previous 50-day ultimatum, issued a couple of weeks ago<\/a> to the Kremlin’s tenant to agree to sit down at the negotiating table: “I will set a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today<\/strong>,” he warned, reserving the right to announce it publicly in the coming hours. <\/p>\n

“There is no reason to wait<\/strong>,” explained the tycoon, since “we see no progress” in the negotiations<\/strong> to end the hostilities that have now lasted almost three and a half years, as confirmed by the latest failure <\/a>of the talks in Istanbul<\/strong> between the delegations from Kyiv and Moscow.  If the arms do not fall silent and an agreement is not reached, he threatens, Washington will impose “sanctions and perhaps secondary tariffs<\/strong>” against the Federation.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
