kensington palace announced that prince william is going to be meeting directly with president electald trump to really focus on the u.s., u.k. relationship. in their words that was part of their statement. look, this is actually the first time these two have met since donald trump when he was then president. and his first administration had traveled to the united kingdom for a state visit and again, these people have known each other just like donald trump has had a longtime relationship with macron from his first administration. he's met with prince william in the past. i think the big thing here is that a lot of world leaders really want to know what donald trump's view is moving forward when it comes to the world stage, what his, you know, trade policy is going to look like. that has been a big thing that we've heard repeatedly that have been coming up in donald trump's calls with foreign leaders ever since he won the election in november. and other, you know, of course, questions about what will his posture toward the wars mainly ukraine, but also in the middle east as well. the
