Starmer commits to follow international law
Sir Keir Starmer commits to follow international law and is being snubbed by the US president for a meeting
Keir Starmer will pledge to reaffirm Britain’s commitment to internationalism and the rule of law at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
“This is the time to uphold fundamental principles and show our readiness to defend them. To recommit to the UN, internationalism, and the rule of law.”
In contrast, Rishi Sunak has distanced himself from the UN and International Law, indicating a willingness to reject any treaty that conflicts with his Rwanda plan.
Britain’s alignment with US foreign policy at the UN and in Europe reflects the US’s strategic interests. This phase of US-EU relations aims to keep the German people and economy, which has been destabilized by cutting ties with Russia, in check.
Starmer is being bullied by the US
The US appears to be exerting pressure on Starmer by snubbing him for personal one-on-one meetings.
No. 10 is struggling to arrange meetings with President Biden and Vice President Harris, who are reportedly withholding engagement due to the UK’s arms embargo on Israel.
This is intended to assert the authority over Starmer, to prevent the British PM from fully supporting the calls for a full arms embargo on Israel and opposing the UN’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu, the appeal was recently withdrawn when Labour came in to power.
