15:22Now PlayingJames O'Brien wonders 'what on earth' the UK Prime Minister should say to US President Donald Trump.
James suggests that Keir Starmer potentially provoking Donald Trump by 'telling the truth' about him has the potential to 'make everything worse for the UK.'
It comes after France's Emannuel Macron will beat Keir Starmer in being the first European leader to visit White House in the new Trump era.
Emmanuel Macron will meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday. Keir Starmer is visiting three days later.
This is following Keir Starmer showing support for 'democratically elected' Zelenskyy after Trump's 'dictator' comments.
The US president took aim at Zelenskyy after he accused Trump of "helping Putin to come out of isolation" by working with him.
On Wednesday evening, Number Ten released a statement expressing Starmer's support for the Ukrainian leader following a phone call.
In the call, the Prime Minister said it was "perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War Two", according to a Downing Street spokesperson.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister spoke to President Zelenskyy this evening and stressed the need for everyone to work together.
“The Prime Minister expressed his support for President Zelenskyy as Ukraine’s democratically elected leader and said that it was perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War II."
