The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jews. Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the State Department about providing sanctuary for Jews fleeing anti-Semitism in the UK. In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Garson said he could see “no future” for Jews in the UK and laid much of the blame on Sir Keir Starmer for allowing anti-Semitism to flourish.
Mr Garson, a former London-based barrister who moved to the US in 2008, said: “The UK is no longer a safe place for Jews. I have spoken to the State Department as to whether the president should be offering British Jews asylum in the US. “It is certainly not an unattractive proposition. It is a highly educated community. It is a populous that speaks English natively, that is educated and doesn’t have a high proportion of criminals”. He added: “Keir Starmer has turned a total blind eye to anti-Semitism. The Prime Minister has allowed rampant anti-Semitism to become commonplace in society and has allowed it to come from those who really don’t have Britain’s best interests at heart.”
