Business pal Jen is rocked by PM silence Call from ‘knight in armour’ never came

helped broker an interview with Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan. The chat, set to be aired tomorrow, is likely to address a string of key questions

Joe has also contacted attorney Marty Singer, Hollywood’s go-to lawyer for reputation management advice.

And Jennifer’s long- time pal and lawyer Michael Walsh – also dealing with negotiations to sell her story – bizarrely claimed her exclusive interview will refer to “a pending dinner” with ex-US President Bill Clinton’s former mistress Monica Lewinsky. Mr Johnson also faces claims he groped a female journalist 20 years ago, which he denies. But he refuses to say whether he and Ms Arcuri had a fling.

But in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror in Huntington Beach, LA, last week, she claimed the rumours were “complete b******t”.

She said: “This is not a Monica Lewinsky. The allegations are false and I am a legitimate businesswoman. He spoke at my event. He’s been after me forever. Men just trip over themselves in front of me. They fall in love with me in about 10 minutes.”

Later she told Bloomberg TV: “I will not be the person to bring Johnson down. He didn’t do me any favours. I was within my rights to go on those trade missions and apply for grants. My relationship with him is nobody’s business.”

The US president keeps vetoing new WTO judges who decide on trade rows, but the body needs at least three judges to function.

However the eight-year term for two of the three judges ends in December leaving the remaining Chinese judge powerless.

And if Mr Trump refuses to agree the appointment of replacements as expected the WTO crashes.

Now the EU is proposing to get around the US president’s stubbornness by setting up its own interim judicial procedure.

This would copy and paste the existing system until the US veto is lifted or America is chucked out of the WTO.

WTO chief Roberto Azevedo said: “Without action to ease tensions we could see serious harm to the trading system.”

Tom Tugendhat, Tory chair of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, added: “It seems bold to bet the national economy on an organisation even its leader recognises is struggling for legitimacy.”

But Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: “The WTO is a powerful tool for resolving trade disputes. We must safeguard it to ensure rules can be enforced.”

Nearly 600 disputes have been taken to the WTO since it was set up in 1995. Most involved the EU.
