This has to be fake. Queen would not be that rude to her guest, even if it is Trump. But great idea!

Well, if you measure respect for UK by keeping Churchill bust in Oval Office instead of how treats our British ally, I suppose you're right. 🙄

Great that the gates of , Ukraine’s Presidential Adminiatration, are open to the public. Makes staking out the entrances and people watching easier. Moments ago, new Chargé d’Affaires for , Kristina Kvien, walked in for a meeting with Zelenskiy’s team.

Special relationship between US and UK is important. I saw it first-hand during 3 years at US Embassy London in early 1990s. But has done more damage to that relationship than any other president in past 50 years.

Kremlin spox wishes Michael Calvey could attend St Petersburg Int'l Economic Forum. Only problem: Calvey, who has invested in for 25 years, sits under house arrest in Moscow on what seem dubious charges. Hardly an encouraging sign for potential investors in Russia.

True, Red Army had been fighting since 1941 and faced many more German divisions than allies in West. But that in no way diminishes the heroism or achievements of those who parachuted in or waded ashore at Normandy on June 6, 1944.
