when he was here on monday so how big of an ask is it for sir keir starmer a good job of kind of avoiding a pitfall that macron fell into, which was telling i think the fastest way to get president trump to do something is to tell him that it's a mistake, whereas i think and trying to show that there are other ways of doing it that will benefit america, too. as you mentioned, with the potentially incoming tariffs and things like that. of whether it be flattery or a bit more transactionalism, and those type of things.
