British Prime Minister Keir Starmer‘s visit to the White House on Thursday provided a first look at how the United States’s “special relationship” with the United Kingdom will fare during President Donald Trump’s second administration.

The prime minister wants to keep everyone happy. He has been loath to criticize Trump, has warmed up Britain’s post-Brexit partnership with the European Union, avowedly backed Kyiv and thawed ties with China. At a time of geopolitical upheaval, he is attempting to squeeze Britain into an impossibly tight Venn diagram.

In his visit on Thursday, the prime minister will try to leverage the U.K.'s so-called "special relationship" with U.S. and act as a bridge between the Trump administration and U.S. allies in Europe.
