Schkel’s First Meeting with Trump

Multiple British media outlets reported that British​ Prime Minister Schkel​ had a ⁤two-hour dinner with former President Trump, who is running for president on behalf‌ of the US Republican Party, in New York yesterday.

Schkel, who led the British Labor Party⁢ to a ⁣landslide victory in the ​parliamentary election in July, was accompanied by‌ British diplomacy Minister Lamy. This was​ the first ⁢meeting between Schkel and Trump.

Trump’s Comments on Schkel

Before ⁤the meeting, Trump told reporters that he thought Schkel ‌was‌ “very friendly” and had run a “great campaign.” Trump also stated‍ that Schkel ‍was “quite popular,” although⁤ it was “early” to talk about his performance.

Schkel’s Stance on the US Presidential Election

Schkel has taken a neutral stance on this year’s US presidential election, although experts have pointed out that Trump’s election may ​cause ‍difficulties, especially doubts about whether he will‌ continue to support the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Ukraine.

Schkel⁢ said he should meet with candidates from both parties in‍ the US presidential election, but due to “scheduling challenges,” he was unable to arrange a meeting ⁣with US Vice President Kamala Harris, who is⁢ running on behalf of the Democratic Party.

Lammy’s Past Criticism ⁢of Trump

David Lammy, who‍ accompanied⁣ Schkel at the event, has harshly criticized Trump in⁣ the​ past.⁢ In 2018, he described Trump as⁢ a “sociopath who hates women‍ and subscribes to neo-Nazis.” However,‌ he adopted ‌a more conciliatory approach earlier this year, saying in a⁣ speech that Trump’s ‌”attitude​ to European security is often misunderstood.”
