1:21Now PlayingUK Prime Minister Keir Starmer left his meeting with Donald Trump with much to be satisfied about despite falling short of his top objective — obtaining an American security “backstop” to protect Ukraine from further attacks after an end to Russia’s war.
Starmer charmed Trump on their first meeting since the Republican retook office — appealing to his love of pomp by delivering a personal invitation from King Charles III to attend a second state dinner in the UK, which the prime minister cast as “unprecedented” and a testimony to the close ties between the two nations.
Trump accepted the invite on the spot and expanded on his love for Britain, citing the golf courses he owns there. During a joint press conference with Starmer from the White House, the US president expressed eagerness to quickly conduct a trade deal that would allow the UK to avoid tariffs and signaled support for a plan to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean while maintaining control of a military base there.
