World leaders continue to adjust to the reality that Donald Trump is again going to be President. In some cases, the adjustment is easy. Thus, the Telegraph notes the good relationship between JD Vance and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch:

Kemi Badenoch has had dinner with JD Vance, the vice president-elect, as the pair “renewed their friendship” ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

The Tory leader and Mr Vance have regularly exchanged messages over the last year, and he shared a picture of the pair together on Saturday night.

Mr Vance tweeted a picture of himself with his arm around the Tory leader, and wrote: “Great to see the leader of the UK Conservatives during her trip to the US. We discussed many topics, but I was unable to persuade her that coffee is much better than tea. Cheers, Kemi!”

And more in the same vein. This is interesting:

An ally of Mrs Badenoch said: “The dinner renewed their friendship, and Kemi and JD will continue to stay in touch as the Trump administration gets up and running.

“JD sees Kemi as one of those on the global Right doing the deep thinking about how we reform the state. He and Kemi are of a new generation of centre-Right politicians – like Pierre Poilievre, who she met in Toronto on Friday, and Ron DeSantis, who endorsed her leadership campaign – who are using strong conservative principles to enthuse younger voters.”

Poilievre, if the name doesn’t ring a bell, is the Canadian Conservative Party leader who effortlessly disposed of a journalist while munching on an apple.

Preparing for the incoming Trump administration is a little harder for Britain’s governing Labour Party, but they are trying:

Sir Keir Starmer and his top team have also made overtures to Mr Vance in recent months, with David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, claiming that he and the US vice president-elect could find “common ground”.

But then–oops!–we have this:

But past comments made by Mr Lammy about the incoming president, including calling him a “neo-Nazi sociopath” when he was last in office, have raised questions about relations.

Hmm, yes, that could be a problem. I can’t explain why so many politicians, in foreign countries as well as in the U.S., have been so intemperate–not to say deranged–in denouncing Trump. But if I were Keir Starmer, I would want a Foreign Secretary with a less colorful anti-Trump record.
