President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer engaged in a productive conversation on Sunday, delving into matters of trade, the economy, and the recently established cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas. A statement released by 10 Downing Street confirmed the discussion, highlighting that Mr. Starmer expressed his gratitude to Mr. Trump for his instrumental role in securing the agreement.
The cease-fire agreement, brokered by the Biden administration with a crucial last-minute assist from Mr. Trump, facilitated the release of Emily Damari, a British-Israeli woman who was among the first three hostages freed by Hamas.
Looking ahead, Mr. Trump and Mr. Starmer agreed to a future meeting, according to the Downing Street statement. Their initial encounter occurred last September at Trump Tower, where they shared a dinner alongside British Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
Despite Mr. Starmer's affiliation with the center-left Labour Party, Mr. Trump has consistently spoken highly of him. In an interview with the BBC earlier on Sunday, Mr. Trump acknowledged their ideological differences, stating, "He's liberal, which is a bit different from me," before adding, "but I think he's a very good person and I think he's done a very good job thus far.
