Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy is set to meet with allies of former President Donald Trump in the US to discuss the future of Nato. Lammy has expressed a willingness to find common ground with Trump, stating that the latter's approach to European security and commitment to Nato are often misunderstood. This comes amidst criticism for Lammy's shifting stance on Trump, with past comments labeling Trump as a 'woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath.' The UK establishment appears to be warming up to Trump, with Lammy facing scrutiny for his evolving views on the former president.
.@PennyMordaunt calls out Labour very well here: “[David Lammy] is currently trying to walk back from calling [Trump] a neo nazi sympathising KKK sociopath” "Object to ULEZ and you're a child killer" "Want to strengthen our borders? You're a racist" They haven’t changed much. https://t.co/4kbEFIMHBQ
