Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has adopted a cautious diplomatic approach, opting not to directly criticize US President Donald Trump. This strategy is articulated as a means to foster a strong relationship with the White House and is considered by allies to be in the United Kingdom's best interests, avoiding what they term "juvenile" public condemnation. This position is particularly noted in the context of US actions regarding Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.
The UK government's perceived hesitancy in condemning President Trump's actions has drawn criticism from various opposition parties, including the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party, and the Green Party of England and Wales. These critics suggest the government's stance implies an endorsement of the US President's policies. While some Labour Members of Parliament reportedly express private criticism of President Trump, they generally acknowledge and understand Sir Keir Starmer's cautious public posture, attributing it to the need for careful diplomacy given President Trump's perceived unpredictable nature.
