Summary

Prime Minister will be treading a fine diplomatic line in Washington next week .

He will want to maintain his support for President Zelensky and Ukraine 's government.

But he will also want to gain the ear of President Donald Trump over the talks he has begun with Russia to end the war.

The risks of the prime minister's trip are huge.

The greatest risk, however, is that no manner of charm, politics or diplomacy will touch the sides of this new administration. There is simply no transactional offer that can bridge the vast ideological divide that now exists between Europe and the US . That may be the cold hard lesson the British delegation learns in Washington . "We are living in a US presidency which is based on great power diplomacy," one official said. "If we can work within that, fine. If not, God help us.".
