00:00Now, Donald Trump's threatening tariffs on the UK, not on Italy and not on Poland.
00:05So many people are saying, OK, you're treading a tightrope, but you look weak.
00:10And Donald Trump doesn't like weak. That doesn't work for Donald Trump, does it?
00:15Definitely not. Now, the thing is with Keir Starmer, any dispute that has the U.S. involved in it
00:22is going to make the situation very difficult with him.
00:25Even if you remember his remarks regarding Venezuela and the arrest and the capture of Nicolas Maduro,
00:33it was definitely hailed as extremely weak and kind of vague, definitely more so than our other European leaders.
00:42Even I remember a few weeks ago, there were some satirical cartoons in British newspapers depicting this exactly,
00:49saying that, you know, showing Starmer trying to comment on Venezuela and the caption would say,
00:58am I allowed to say this? Am I allowed to say that?
01:00So he is treading a very narrow rope very, very carefully.
01:05Yet he is definitely coming along as quite weak.
