Don't expect a Love Actually-style moment from the Starmer-Trump meeting

Sir Keir Starmer 's mission is to smooth over the cracks in the US -West alliance, writes Andrew Hammond .

He hopes to convince President Trump of the need for Ukraine and Europeans to be part of his negotiations with Russia .

Will he succeed? Or will he face the humiliation endured by Theresa May when she visited Mr Trump in 2017 ? Mr Hammond will go to the White House bearing gifts to mollify the president.

In a worst-case scenario, economists have estimated tariffs could cost the British economy 24bn. It's a packed agenda - even without the added complication of Elon Musk getting involved, given his outspoken antipathy to Sir Keir . Talk of a Love Actually-style moment - any kind of open critique of the US president's wild approach to diplomacy - is hardly the prime minister's style. Mr Trump recently described Sir Keir as a "very nice guy" - but that personal relationship will only carry the negotiations so far..
