The PM should invite Mark Carney for an official visit and address to Parliament before Trump’s visit.
It would show Britain backs Canada against Trump’s damaging trade war. Now is the time to stand with the Commonwealth, not stand in Trump’s shadow like Nigel Farage.

Trump may well achieve his goal of reducing the US trade deficit, but via the worst possible way: engineering recession at home and removing America’s and USD’s status as trusted safe haven. It would be a poorer, hostile nation but with trade surplus. Sort of like Russia. Some win.

New, from me:
Elon Musk is the biggest loser in Wisconsin.
His brazen effort to buy a state supreme court did not just fail - it undermined his image of political kingmaker.
This is the clearest indicator that voters are angry with Trump/Musk agenda.

Quoted in the FT today about prospects for a UK-US deal. The UK has offered a lot and seemingly got nothing- which doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future.
