14:06Now PlayingJames O'Brien gives his assessment of Keir Starmer pulling off a 'diplomatic win' in The White House.
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.
It comes after an almost theatrical display when Starmer was seen to produce the letter from his jacket pocket before handing it to Trump - having previously voiced his admiration for the British royal family in the past.
Responding instantly, Trump said: "The answer is yes - and we look forward to being there and honouring the king".
