and we have some very talented people on the other side. a news conference — where the president said the prime minister was a tough negotiator, the war in ukraine will end fairly soon or not

at all, and he was asked, had keir starmer persuaded him not to put tariffs on the uk? he tried. laughter he was working hard, i'll tell you that. he earned whatever the hell they pay him over there. but he tried. i think there is a very good chance that in the case of these two great, friendly countries, i think we could very well end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't be necessary. we'll see, but he earned whatever they pay him. he was working hard at lunch and i'm very receptive to it. i think, in all fairness, in all seriousness, i think we have a very good chance of arriving at a very good deal. the us—uk relationship has always been close but there are no guarantees with the new resident here. but for now at least, the prime minister has escaped the barbs and frost

others have encountered. for more analysis, let's bring in matthew sussex, associate professor at the centre for european studies in anu. thanks forjoining me. the two leaders look like they were getting along quite well, there wasn't a lot of detail that came out of it what is your biggest takeaway?- came out of it what is your biggest takeaway? look, ithink the biggest _ biggest takeaway? look, ithink the biggest thing _ biggest takeaway? look, ithink the biggest thing to _ biggest takeaway? look, ithink the biggest thing to come - biggest takeaway? look, ithink the biggest thing to come out . the biggest thing to come out of this is zelensky went from being someone who trump had referred to as a dictator to someone who trump said we are going to work with and he is the best president of the ukraine, which was really quite a stunning turnaround. so in terms of where the us might sit in terms of support for ukraine, at the moment it looks as though things are back on track. but as we know with this administration, those who look

for consistency and continuity in american foreign policy are almost always bound to be disappointed.— almost always bound to be disa ointed. �* . ., i. disappointed. and what do you make of zelensky's _ disappointed. and what do you make of zelensky's upcoming l make of zelensky's upcoming trip? he will be there on friday to speak with president trump, does he have a lot of leveraged or a lot of things that he can offer president trump in return for security? we know about the minerals and his resources that have been mooted so far.— his resources that have been mooted so far. yes, i mean, i aet mooted so far. yes, i mean, i net the mooted so far. yes, i mean, i get the sense _ mooted so far. yes, i mean, i get the sense that _ mooted so far. yes, i mean, i get the sense that trump - mooted so far. yes, i mean, i get the sense that trump is l get the sense that trump is probably more concerned about the optics of meeting zelensky and signing this deal that is now considerably watered down from where it was. the ukrainians aren't being asked, for instance, to pay 500 billion us dollars in reparations. instead, it is a co—investment fund which is very light on details. zelensky will be providing trump, i think, with a bit of a win in terms of coming to dc and

signing this deal and trump will be able to say, look, i have a long—term arrangement now with ukraine. but zelensky will want some kind of quid pro quo and he will say that, to the president, asking flat out, are you going to support us or not? chief amongst his objectives, i think, not? chief amongst his objectives, ithink, will not? chief amongst his objectives, i think, will be that a security deal or security guarantee that he has been seeking for a long time and if he doesn't get that then at the very least, the right to continue to buy weapons from the united states to either continue the conflict or to make sure that a post—war ukraine is protected and as armed as possible. find ukraine is protected and as armed as possible.- armed as possible. and if zelensky _ armed as possible. and if zelensky is _ armed as possible. and if zelensky is able - armed as possible. and if zelensky is able to - armed as possible. and if zelensky is able to make | armed as possible. and if - zelensky is able to make some sort of deal, we still don't know much detail on the russian side of things, what if putin counter offers president trump? yes, that is entirely possible that putin has made noises in

fact about the potential for some kind of economic arrangement between the united states and russia over its own enormous resources, including of course some rare earths. so the thing that putin has to offer is that, well, we can play at the investment game as well. the question for trump, i think, is how close is he prepared to get to vladimir putin? and how much does he want to turn what was an entirely adversarial relationship... we should remember that putin has essentially said that he is at war with the united states for a number of years now. whether trump is prepared to turn that from a reset in the relationship to an actual partnership. relationship to an actual partnership-— relationship to an actual partnership. relationship to an actual artnershi -. ~ . ., partnership. we will have to wait and see, _ partnership. we will have to wait and see, thank- partnership. we will have to wait and see, thank you - partnership. we will have to | wait and see, thank you very much, matthew, for your thoughts as always. the oscars is happening this weekend, and a japanese film—maker and journalist is making history. shiori ito, who has become
