0:00.0	Welcome to the Restis Politics US with me, Katty K.
0:11.0	And I'm Anthony Scaramucci.
0:13.0	Still in Sicily.
0:15.0	Still in the White Lotus Hotel.
0:18.0	Still on holiday.
0:19.0	And for all of our views and listeners out there, I recommend the Godfather tour. I took my wife this morning, Katty. It was really a lot of fun. Why does that not surprise me that that's what you do? You know, it's just fun. Yeah, it's good. It's good. And you went to the bar indeed. Yes, of course. The famous bar. What are we talking about, girl? What's what's going on today?
0:39.1	What's going on? I'm going to drag you from the beach and remind you that there is a world out there.
0:42.9	I apologize. But we are going to unpack Donald Trump's comments on Gaza. It's pretty clear that there is a gap growing between Washington and London.
0:55.1	We'll talk about the special relationship, the degree to which it still holds, whether Donald Trump might be persuaded by the images from Gaza.
1:04.4	And then we are going to look at Donald Trump giving Putin just 10 days to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire. Is it real pressure? Is it

1:41.7	kind of how much pressure there is growing for Donald Trump in the States on this, and I had a very interesting conversation with a senator, which we can get into about how he believes there should be much more pressure.
1:51.7	And America should actually withdraw aid to Israel until children are no longer starving in Gaza.
1:57.7	You wanted Anthony to talk about the special relationship between the UK and the
2:01.9	US. So why don't you kick off with your thoughts on that following Donald Trump's visit to
2:07.0	Scotland? The reason I want to talk about that is that it is alive and well. And I think what's most
2:12.7	interesting had Joe Biden been president, that relationship would have been alive and well.
2:19.3	And weirdly, I think the current president, President Trump, is more of an anglofile than just about any president in the last 25 years.
2:28.5	And so the trade deal is an example of that.
2:31.6	It got done fairly quickly.
