Right, so Trump won the presidency very easily and is now President Elect . If you believe him, he has already been on the blower to Vladimir Putin (Putin denies this categorically) about Ukraine, and is planning to impose tariffs on all imports to the USA at a blanket rate of 20%.. This puts the UK, and PM Starmer, in an awkward position, given that the UK is looking at the smouldering wreckage of all of its previously available bridges providing easy access to the biggest single market in the world that we had as a member state of the EU. Does Trump's tariff-mania mean that the US market is now as difficult to access for UK exporters as Brexit has made the EU? Will the mythical "special relationship" between the UK and the USA be any help here?
More generally, it is going to be interesting, in a rubber-necking as you drive by a motorway pile-up kind of way, to see exactly how "Project 2025" plays out over the next 4 years. Remember, Trump denied all knowledge of "Project 2025".
