Lammy Finds Common Ground with Trump Despite Past Remarks

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy is facing scrutiny for past derogatory comments made about Donald Trump, describing him as a 'neo-Nazi sympathiser' and other insults during Trump's previous presidency. Despite these remarks resurfacing, Lammy insists they are 'old news' and asserts that he has found common ground with Trump after a recent dinner, where Trump was described as a gracious host. Lammy claims his views have evolved since taking public office and emphasizes the importance of maintaining the US-UK relationship. He downplays the potential impact of his past comments on bilateral ties, noting that similar criticisms came from various politicians at the time. While some critics suggest his comments could harm relations, Lammy remains in his post, with support from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
