You reach a victory over the soft power, as Donald Trump is heading home from happy Britain

Despite all the royal effort that went to Donald Trump, who criticized the ego this week during his second unprecedented visit to the United Kingdom, his journey also confirmed at least two important development of policymakers.

Both of them involve issues where governments carry UK – and Canadian – conflicting views of the American president.

The first is the Israel war in Gaza.

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer said that the United Kingdom will announce this week its recognition of a Palestinian state, along with Canada, Australia, France and other Western countries.

Trump administration officials Their opposition opinions made it completely clear.

“We believe that (recognition) has undermined negotiations, because it encouraged Hamas, and we believe that it undermines the future peace possibilities in the region,” said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the case on Trump’s visit in the United Kingdom.

Rubio’s position is echoed by the largest Jewish community organizations in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, who are in a Joint launch, He argues that the Palestinian state will be “a reward for violence and rejection.”

But in his comments on Thursday, Starmer categorically rejected this position, as the American president listens to his side.

“The issue of recognition must be seen … (AS) is part of that comprehensive package, which we hope will take us from the horrific position that we are now facing in the results of Israel safe and safe, which we did not have, and a viable Palestinian state.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement Using similar words during the summer, noting that Israel’s continuous failure to “quickly prevent the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza”, as well as the need to maintain a solution of the two countries, was behind Canada’s decision to act now.

While Trump has not clearly agreed with Starmer’s – guarantee, Carney’s position – in confession, also said he would not do anything about it.

“I have a dispute with the Prime Minister in that result, well? One of our few differences, in fact.”

Israel is “disappointed”

One of the most respectable foreign policy experts in Britain says Trump’s response is noticeable.

“(Trump) has chosen a kind of birth,” let’s agree not to agree on that, “said Peter Rikits, a member of the House of Lords in Britain and the former Prime Minister.

“The American opposition was silent, and I think the Israelis were very disappointed to see that,” Ricks told BBC Radio 4 today.

While Canada opens discussions with the United States on the renewal of the Canada-USA Convention on Trade (CUSMA), there were widespread fears that Canada’s position in the Palestinian state could endanger these talks-but Trump’s comments in the UK could indicate otherwise.

How useful is a useful Palestinian state, as Israeli forces were exposed to Gaza for two years for two years and the growing Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank and the implementation of almost daily attacks on the Palestinians and their property, which can be largely erased.

Trump repeated that there will be no discussions about the future of Gaza in his hour, unless the twenty Israeli hostages who believe they are still alive and held by Hamas.

But in Europe, Canada and many of the rest of the world, there is a deep concern that Trump’s explicit approval of Israel’s attacks on Gaza encouraged those on the extreme right in Israel who want to occupy Gaza and settle Gaza late, as this will act quickly in the future.

Ukraine’s transformation

Another prominent development came from the state’s visit in the future of Trump’s efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Since he took office eight months ago, the American President has undergone a kind of some kind in his attempts to make peace.

Starting with the notorious clothing of Voludmir Zelinsky at the Oval Office, where the President of Ukraine announced “he has no cards” and urged him to cut his losses and settle down, Trump reluctantly changed his position.

Starmer played an important role in this transformation, as Zelinski advised his dealings with Trump, but he also made his own interventions on behalf of the United Kingdom and Europe.

Speaking at the press conference on Thursday, Trump’s main message about Ukraine was that Europe needed to do more to strike Russia as it hurts: that is, stop buying its capacity.

“The thing that was more interesting for me was that he was ready to say things out loudly, but no one is ready to confess to it,” said Tom Kiting, the founding director of the CFS at the Royal United Institute in London.

“This was his point of view on funding the European Union mainly Russia’s war in Ukraine.”

While Europe has it Cut When purchasing oil and natural gas from Russia since the beginning of its invasion of Ukraine in 2021, it did not stop completely.

The European Union – most of them from Hungary and Slovakia – still buys two percent of its oil from Russia and 14 percent of natural gas.

one European energy tracking site The imports of the European Union for Russian fossil fuel were higher than the total amount of financial aid sent by the bloc to Ukraine in 2024.

“It is a stigma on the continent.” “The lack of willingness to address this problem, and I believe that Donald Trump is mainly forced the European Union to do what it should have had been doing for a long time.”

Trump has repeatedly talked about how Putin’s hope and “truly let him down” since the husband carried a summit in Ancorag, Alaska, in mid -August.

Trump suggests next to Starmer, as it was often in the past – that the Russian economy can strike much more difficult than he has, but he will not do so unless Europe goes first.

New penalties

On Friday, the European Union confirmed that it had approved a new set of sanctions against Russia, the nineteenth since the beginning of its attack on Ukraine.

New measures It includes a complete ban on European Union countries that buy Russian natural gas, as well as more sanctions on ships that transport Russian fossil fuels around the world.

The impact of new measures on Putin’s deterrence may be limited, but Rikitz says that Trump’s slow transformation on the issue of sanctions, at the request of urging from Starmer and European leaders.

“If we can direct this to a proposal to offer companies, individuals participating in the oil trade, this is a practical proposal,” said the former National Security Adviser. “So there is an open door there we can walk.”

Other observers strongly reject any suggestion that Starmer’s efforts this week to manufacture himself with the unexpected American president can lead to better results for the United Kingdom

Ben Jamal, a Palestine Solidarity Campaign, who participated in the big street demonstrations in London against Trump’s visit, says that the American president is the fatwa – and trying to play well with him.

“What we see at the present time is what I describe as an absolute recovery for President Trump,” Jamal told CBC News in an interview.

“The only purpose of influence is to use it to say,” What you are doing is wrong, it is not what we defend and urge you and demand that the path be changed. “

“We do not do it by saying,” Come and visit an unprecedented state and we will launch the red carpet for you. “

How much this trip ended with the help of a politician star at home, it is very self.

He still faces extensive pressure from within the Labor Party to continue trade with Israel and welcoming its officials in London on official visits. On the political right, it faces an increasing competition from the UK Reform, which challenged the Labor Party to what it says are “weak” immigration policies.

However, with the end of the week, the British Prime Minister is likely to witness that the state’s visit is a comprehensive victory, with no large tools, and there are no open plates with Trump and billions of dollars in deals in the coming years.
