Can Britain's Left-Wing Next Foreign Secretary Find 'Common Cause' with Trump?
Briefly

David Lammy, the Labour member of parliament for Tottenham, coined a doctrine of 'Progressive Realism,' meeting with potential cabinet members in the US, incl J.D. Vance, aligning with Trumpian realist conservatism.
Lammy's 'Progressive Realism' merges liberal internationalism with acknowledging NATO's fair share issue, aligning with Trump's stance while also supporting Ukraine.
Realism is gaining popularity after the failed idealism of the past, presenting an opportunity for politicians to label themselves as 'realists' to establish credibility and influence debates.
However, the concept faces criticism for being a mix of inconsistent theories, with Lammy's 'Progressive Realism' resembling liberal internationalism with slight alterations.
