Last week, foreign office minister Douglas Alexander confirmed in a written Commons answer that the Government has failed to make any in-person preparations for Donald Trump’s second term in office.
Responding to a question from Tory MP Dame Harriett Baldwin, who asked what ministers or officials have had meetings with President-Elect Trump, Mr Alexander confirmed that the only interactions have been two phone calls by Keir Starmer.

READ MORE: Donald Trump refuses to invite Keir Starmer to inauguration in major snub
No one from the Government has met with Mr Trump's transition team (Image: Getty)
"During this call, the Prime Minister offered his congratulations and said he looked forward to working closely with President-elect Trump across all areas of the special relationship.
“The Prime Minister spoke to the President-elect again on 18 December. Neither the Secretary of State, Ministers, nor officials in the Department have had meetings with President-Elect Trump's transition team.”
The failure by the Government to hold any meetings with the President-Elects team may go some way to explaining why Sir Keir Starmer has been snubbed by not receiving an invitation to next Monday’s inauguration.
President Trump has invited a number of world leaders, including Italian premier Georgia Meloni, Argentinian President Javier Milei, El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele and Hungarian President Viktor Orban.
Nigel Farage is also set to attend, however Sir Keir is notably missing from the list of invitees.

He is among other traditional opponents of President Trump not be invited, including Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and the EU President Ursula von der Leyen.
In a furious tweet yesterday, Elon Musk claimed Sir Keir had been missed off the invitation list due to sending “operatives to America to undermine the US election!”
A reference to Labour Party activists visiting the States to campaign for Kamala Harris ahead of Mr Trump’s thumping victory.
Responding to the news that neither ministers nor officials have had any meetings with Trump’s team ahead of his return to the White House, shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith described it as “utterly negligent”.

“After Labour’s terrible budget the UK economy needs all the help it can get.
“It is utterly negligent for Labour to be kowtowing to China whilst ignoring the greatest trading opportunity this country has.”
