6:39Now PlayingLBC's Natasha Clark got a front seat view for the Prime Minister's all important trip to Washington to press the flesh with Donald Trump.
The visit is widely thought to have been a success, and among the positive noises coming from the pair was the President's response to Natasha's question on trade.
Donald Trump has said the UK is on track for a "very good" trade deal with the US that could see the nation dodge potential tariffs - as the President branded the PM a "tough negotiator".
Speaking at the White House on Thursday, Trump announced that a “great trade agreement” was on the cards and that a deal could be finalised "very quickly".
“We’re going to have a great trade agreement, one way or the other, we’re going to end up with a very good trade agreement for both countries, and we’re working on that as we speak,” he said during a joint press conference.
The pair also spoke about potential tariffs, with Trump telling LBC's Natasha Clark that the UK may not be hit with them.
He credited Starmer's negotiating on the subject, saying the PM was "working hard" during their lunch to stop him from introducing tariffs.
Starmer highlighted that talks produced a potential “new economic deal with technology at its core”.
"He earned whatever they pay him over there," he joked, adding the UK and US will work towards "two deals" - one ending the war and a second striking a trade agreement.
