The UK has to choose between principle and President Trump. Keir Starmer must take a stand

Last Wednesday, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a Republican, took to the floor of the US Senate to say he was “sick of stupid”.

His target was Stephen Miller, the senior advisor to Donald Trump, who two days after the president said the US was going to run Venezuela had claimed it was obvious the US should “have” Greenland too.

Tillis said Miller should get informed or quit his job.

If only the fever that has taken hold of the White House could be soothed by the removal of one advisor. In reality America First is a mood, a viewpoint, sometimes a rage, nowadays a craze for spectacular adventurism. It reaches for territory and riches because it can. It has burned bridges of trust that will take generations to rebuild. Through Trump it controls the world’s largest military and it is forcing America’s allies — Britain urgently among them — to choose between raw power and principle.
