Senior UK diplomats believe that Donald Trump may prioritize inviting populist right-wing leaders like Giorgia Meloni and Viktor Orban over Keir Starmer after his inauguration.
Representations are being made via the UK embassy in Washington while there are warnings that Trump may prefer to meet with hard-right political allies first.
Former top UK ambassador emphasizes there's no guarantee that Trump will honor the 'special relationship' by inviting the UK Prime Minister first due to ideological differences.
Peter Ricketts, a former UK ambassador, indicated that it would not be surprising if Trump chooses to meet Meloni or Orban before Starmer.
