15:34Now PlayingJames O'Brien is joined by LBC's Political Editor Natasha Clark, after her trip to Washington DC, where Keir Starmer and Donald Trump met during a state visit to discuss a variety of topics, including Ukraine, the Chagos Islands, the special relationship, and tariffs.
The PM addressed plans for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, Sir Keir said history "must be on the side of the peace maker, not the aggressor".
He added that he and Trump had discussed plans to reach a peace which is "tough and fair", adding that the UK and US could both win and get things done when they worked together.
Asked if Sir Keir Starmer had convinced him not to impose trade tariffs on the UK, Donald Trump said: "He tried."
Trump continued: "He was working hard, I'll tell you that. He earned whatever the hell they pay him over there, but he tried.
"I think there's a very good chance that in the case of these two great, friendly countries, I think we could very well end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't be necessary. We'll see."
The US President earlier said he had a "warm spot" for the UK, as he confirmed the bust of former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill had made a return to the White House.
