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

00:25Even 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,
