The Turnberry press conference with Keir Starmer and Donald Trump marked a significant shift in UK, US, and Middle East politics. Trump effectively endorsed Starmer's recognition of a Palestinian state, altering US policy on Israel and Netanyahu. He publicly dismissed the Israeli PM's claims about Gaza, prioritizing ending hunger.
This was a departure from Trump's previous support. Crucially, Trump told Starmer he didn't mind his stance on a Palestinian state, easing political pressure.
Trump likes Starmer, rewarding his patience. The aim is to reduce US tariffs on UK exports and gain support on issues like Ukraine and the Middle East. Starmer's success has inspired other leaders. He's a superb diplomat who may have uniquely influenced Trump's Middle East policy, showcasing his leadership.
