00:00Well, this is crazy. Yesterday, President Trump was saying that the state visit by the King would improve relations.

00:05Today, he's threatened tariffs on the UK, and now we have this leaked memo saying he's threatening British sovereignty in

00:13the Falklands.

00:14It is absolutely outrageous. The only people who think this state visit should go ahead are Keir Starmer, Kemi Betenoch,

00:21and Nigel Farage.

00:22It's totally embarrassing, and I think it should be pulled. He can't keep insulting our country.

00:27And how concerned are you by the idea that the US could review the UK's claim to the Falklands?

00:33I'm very concerned. You know, Margaret Thatcher stood up to Ronald Reagan when he wasn't initially supporting us properly over

00:42our own territory.

00:44Now, I see people like Kemi Betenoch and Nigel Farage sucking up to Trump so much they won't stand up

00:50for British values and British territory.
