Starmer & Trump - A Special Relationship?

With Adrian Goldberg and Alex Hall Hall

Can Sir Keir Starmer really be a bridge across the Atlantic to an American president seemingly hell bent on destroying the NATO alliance?

Adrian Goldberg is joined in conversation by Alex Hall Hall, former British diplomat who worked in Washington DC and now lives in the States.

Adrian observes that if Trump isn’t a Russian agent – as Byline Times has suggested – then he’s certainly dancing to Vladimir Putin’s tune by suggesting that President Zelenskyy is a dictator and that Ukraine invaded Russia.

Maybe a Mafia boss is a more apt comparison for Trump as he seeks to extract Ukraine’s mineral wealth in return for American military backing; not to mention the demands for ‘respect’ in that embarrassing Oval Office Press conference involving Trump’s vice president JD Vance and Zelenskyy.

The Byline podcast is produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg.
