PM's 'knee-bending' to Trump is  'cringey', says Clegg
Former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Nick Clegg criticized UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's relationship with President Trump as "cringey" and urged him to stand up for British values. Clegg suggested the UK must not rely too heavily on the US and should address issues like Trump's lukewarm stance on NATO. Despite welcoming investment from Trump's visit, Clegg cautioned against overdependence on the US, emphasizing the evolving nature of the UK-US relationship.
