Lord Richard Hermer, the attorney general, emphasized the commitment to international law as central to the foreign policy of Sir Keir Starmer’s government. He highlighted how this approach has fostered economic relationships with key countries like the US, India, and the EU. Hermer defended maintaining a 'warm' relationship with President Trump, even if it meant sacrificing short-term political benefits. His comments offer insight into the legal strategies influencing UK foreign policy, particularly amid tensions regarding recent military actions by the US against Iran.
"Goes absolutely to the heart of Sir Keir Starmer's government and its approach to foreign policy, the attorney general has told the BBC."
"It's important in and of itself, but it's important also for promoting our interests internationally."
