I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him,” Trump says of British prime minister.

US President Donald Trump has said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has done a "very good job thus far" and that the pair have a "very good relationship". Asked by the BBC on board Air Force One about his relationship with Sir Keir, Trump added that they would be having a call "over the next 24 hours" - a conversation which has since taken place.

Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump agreed to meet “soon” in their first phone call since the US president ’s inauguration. In the 45-minute call, Sir Keir praised the US president for his “role in securing the landmark ceasefire and hostages deal in Gaza”, Downing Street said.
