David Lammy and JD Vance are strengthening their relationship during a summer holiday in the UK, engaging in shared prayers and communion. Their previous interactions included mass at Vance’s residence in Washington. Lammy's approach to foreign policy is termed progressive realism, accepting the current global climate. Critics may view his warming to Trump skeptically, yet the relationship has led to favorable outcomes for trade with the UK, as noted by political specialist Michael Martins. He also comments on the evolving stance of Trump regarding Putin and Russia.
Lammy described Donald Trump as a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath. Now, Trump is someone that we can build a relationship with and Vance is a friend.
The philosophy behind Lammy's foreign policy has been described as progressive realism—taking the world as it is and not as we might wish it to be.
I think they have done a pretty good job and you can see it with some of the incoming tariff increases which have not affected the UK.
President Trump's view on Putin and Russia has changed, is changing and softening, in a way that I think the British government is adapting to.
