Will Donald Trump and Keir Starmer form an unlikely political alliance, or will their obvious differences get in the way? Despite Trump’s praise for the UK PM, tensions are rising elsewhere, with Elon Musk throwing shade on Starmer’s leadership.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to meet soon on a call on Sunday when they also spoke about the royal family and of their two countries "warm ties", according to statement from Downing Street.

The Prime Minister had previously pledged to increase the amount spent on the British military from 2.3% to 2.5% but had not set a deadline

A readout from 10 Downing Street in London on Sunday night stated that the two leaders had a warm exchange and agreed to meet in-person soon. The phone call came soon after Trump told reporters that he thought Starmer has "done a very good job" so far.

Donald Trump is expected to visit the UK “soon” after Sir Keir Starmer became the first European leader to speak to the president since his inauguration.

US President Donald Trump has praised UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and commending his leadership. Trump acknowledged their differing political views but emphasised their strong relationship, revealing plans to speak with Starmer over the phone in the next 24 hours.

Donald Trump is threatening to create a huge headache for Sir Keir Starmer by rejecting the UK's top two choices as ambassador to the USA. Republican sources have revealed the new US President could turn down the appointment of former Foreign Secretary David Miliband as our man in Washington.
