    He added: “We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them.”

      In 2022 maga lawyers working for Ron Desantis in Florida had to legally define woke:

      “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

      So I guess Trump is saying “he’ll always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them, and other problems put before them.”

      It would appear he’s asking UK to ignore objective reality, and other problems.
