Because Face to face in such crucial negotiations such as trade deals is essential IMO.

Plus you don’t want to look like the poor relation with the begging bowl.

I think a UK Chancellor of the Exchequer meeting the US Secretary of the Treasury is fairly normal procedure, especially when discussing a potential Trade Deal.
I don't understand why it needs such an unpleasant thread title.

Negotiations with Trump and his acolytes is hardly a “jolly”.

A Travelodge is total luxury compared to Motel6!
Cut her some slack though. I’d rather be doing what I’m doing over here than being over there with that bunch and I bet she would too!
Also bear in mind that he’d probably raise our tariffs if she didn’t go.

Why? If Zoom calls were good enough in Lockdown then why does she need to go in person to be rubbished by Donald Trump?

I hope she's flying Economy and staying in a Travelodge..........
