Yet it\u2019s this very channel where U.K. ministers are now trying to pump their own messages into the MAGA media ecosystem \u2014 and catch Donald Trump\u2019s eye in the process.<\/p>\n
British Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Defense Secretary John Healey have both done interviews on Newsmax in the past six weeks during their respective trips to the U.S. \u2014 and there\u2019s more expected to follow from other visiting ministers.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just the latest Rubicon crossed by a center-left government which has prioritized pragmatism over ideological purity \u2014\u00a0particularly when it comes to dealing with the current president and his volley of tariffs.<\/p>\n
One U.K. government official, granted anonymity to speak freely, said Britain\u2019s efforts to increase defense spending and strike an economic agreement with the U.S. are among the key messages ministers want to hammer home to an American audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that in order to get that message across, it\u2019s not just about bilateral meetings. It\u2019s also about talking to people that influence those decisions and going direct where they get their news,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to win an election in Oxford, you\u2019d speak to the Oxford Mail. And if you want to speak to Trump, you go on these kinds of outlets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yet it\u2019s this very channel where U.K. ministers are now trying to pump their own messages into the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[748,2437,473,32,33,34,393,36,349,33113,4884,2819,807,6655,2452,1144,28300,7965,619,48,712,33114,479,1201,16,15,49,1764,2413],"class_list":{"0":"post-64539","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-companies","11":"tag-defense","12":"tag-donald-trump","13":"tag-elections","14":"tag-emmanuel-macron","15":"tag-england","16":"tag-france","17":"tag-fraud","18":"tag-george-simion","19":"tag-great-britain","20":"tag-john-healey","21":"tag-keir-starmer","22":"tag-kyriakos-mitsotakis","23":"tag-media","24":"tag-northern-ireland","25":"tag-peter-mandelson","26":"tag-platforms","27":"tag-rachel-reeves","28":"tag-rights","29":"tag-scotland","30":"tag-steve-bannon","31":"tag-tariffs","32":"tag-trade","33":"tag-uk","34":"tag-united-kingdom","35":"tag-united-states","36":"tag-wales","37":"tag-wall-street"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114430283832200652","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
