In his first interview since Trump's victory, David Lammy emphasized the importance of building a relationship with the president-elect for national interest, noting, "I think that what you say as a backbencher and what you do... in public office are two different things." He further argued that in the current global context, collaboration is essential, stating, "We will forge common interests," highlighting the need for pragmatic diplomacy.
Reflecting on Trump's impact, Lammy pointed out that even amid past criticisms, the U.S.-U.K. relationship is vital: "In a world where there's war in Europe, where there's a tremendous loss of life... we will agree on many common interests." He suggests that understanding and navigating the complexities of international relations must take precedence.
