DOMINANT ANGLE
Un roi en mission impossible : maintenir une relation spéciale que le Premier ministre a fragilisée
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
The National Post captures the situation sharply: the US-UK relationship is 'at its lowest point since the Suez Crisis in the 1950s.' Charles arrives in Washington as Trump adores the king ('a fantastic man') but has mocked Starmer as weak and unreliable, particularly for refusing to join initial US strikes against Iran. Trump threatened to reopen the bilateral trade deal and withdrew support for Starmer's Chagos islands concession. The Globe and Mail notes that the king, constitutionally above politics, must accomplish a diplomatic feat without ever appearing to contradict his Prime Minister.
