"Trump wouldn't know Burnham if he slapped him"
About this episode
Mehdi Hasan discusses the perception of British political leadership in the US and the implications for international relations.
Some had dubbed Starmer as "the Trump whisperer", so how has this change in leader come across in the US? Do they even care? Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo, joins us on The Exchange to discuss the view from across the pond and how Britain became a punching bag for the American right. Hosted on Acast.
