00:00Do you think a visit to the White House by the EU chief Ursula von der Leyen is still a very,
00:05very long way off? Yeah, I'm not sure about that. You know, look, she's saying on occasion she says
00:11the right things. She didn't say the right thing yesterday when she was complaining about the
00:15president. But, you know, two weeks ago, she was one of the first world leaders, if not the first,
00:20to say, I want to reach out to the White House and negotiate a trade deal and maybe even zero
00:25tariffs. So, you know, on occasion she says the right things. I think it's likely, you know,
00:30to at least a visit to Washington. You know, not sure she's going to get the, you know,
00:36the red carpet. The president loves bilateral relationships. He doesn't really care as much
00:41for multi-lat relationships. So, again, it puts the UK and Keir Starmer in a much better position,
00:48in my view, than the EU.
