2/2 - He's represented his country in terms of philosophy. "I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him." - The relationship between the UK and US was "incredibly strong" and would "continue to thrive". Time to ignore Fartage. Trump won't meet with him.

2/3 Or... Oh! Does the colour of his skin have anything to do with it? He wasn't a small boat migrant, he wasn't from abroad, his parents came from the country you said was safe to send migrants to. So, set aside your opportunism & explain this, clearly. If I am wrong tell me why.
