Britain should offer Donald Trump a state visit on the condition he agrees to a sit-down summit with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as part of an openly “transactional” US-UK relationship with the returning president, Ed Davey has said.
In a speech in which the Liberal Democrat leader also called for the UK to seek a new customs union with the EU to help insulate itself from the potential impacts of Trump’s second presidency, Davey said that while the US leader could not be trusted, he could also very much not be ignored.
