In 2026, one year into Donald Trump's presidency, Britain grapples with the impact of his policies and pronouncements. Despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer's efforts to appease Trump, Britain faced tariff threats and criticism, particularly regarding its stance on Greenland. Trump also reversed his support for a British deal to relinquish islands in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius, calling it "GREAT STUPIDITY," which fueled domestic opposition against Starmer. This incident exemplifies how Trump has influenced British political discourse on issues like immigration, climate change, and geopolitics, shifting the Overton window. The article analyzes how Britain has been affected by Trump's actions and rhetoric.
