Donald Trump trolls Keir Starmer saying he may SNUB the UK on first overseas trip

Donald Trump appeared to troll Keir Starmer last night by hinting he will snub Britain again when he makes his first trip abroad as president.
US leaders normally make London their first port of call after being inaugurated, to show the depth of the 'special relationship'.
However Trump and his senior team, including Elon Musk, have clashed with Sir Keir and Labour in recent months.
The president broke with precedent in his first term, visiting Saudi Arabia in his first overseas trip rather than dropping in on Tory PM Theresa May - though they met later.
And in a chaotic press conference in the Oval Office last night he suggested that the Saudis might be able to buy his support this time around as well.
He told reporters: 'The first foreign trip typically has been with UK but we did it, I did it, with Saudi Arabia last time because they agreed to buy $450billion worth of our product.
'I said ''I'll do it but you have to buy American product'' and they agreed to do that they bought $450 billion, it was the least reported story I've ever been involved (in).
'I don't know if Saudi Arabia wanted to buy another $450Bbn or $500bn -we'll up it for all the inflation - I think I'd probably go there.'
Sir Keir Starmer is set to travel to Donald Trump's White House within weeks after the US president took office promising a new 'golden age of America'.
Mr Trump is weighing up whether to approve the appointment of Lord Mandelson as the UK's new ambassador in Washington, the fate of the Chagos Islands deal and the extent to which tariffs will hit Britain.

I’d make a point of going to Bongfork Egypt first instead.

He should go meet with Milei and tell the Argies they can take the Falklands this time.

America should be represented in the UK by the large volume of Toxic and Radioactive Waste we dump there.

He should reject Mandelson. The guy’s a sinophile and a massive crook. Not to mention a loudmouth Trump basher.
Tell Starmer we want Tommy Robinson as ambassador or leave the seat empty.

If Starmer decides to hand over Chagos Islands, we can change the name of the Falkland Islands to Islas Malvinas.
