US President Donald Trump has commended UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for doing a “very good job” and hinted at a possible visit to the UK. According to comments reported by the BBC, Trump expressed his approval of Starmer during a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One.
Asked by the BBC on board Air Force One about his relationship with Sir Keir, Trump said, “I get along with him well. I like him a lot. He’s liberal, which is a little bit different from me, but I think he’s a very good person and I think he’s done a very good job thus far.”
The US president also noted that Starmer has “represented his country in terms of his philosophy.” While Trump admitted he does not share Starmer’s political views, he emphasised their positive relationship, saying, “I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him.”
The comments come as both leaders navigate significant issues, including trade agreements, military cooperation, and ongoing tensions with Russia. Trump revealed that his first international trip of his second term could take him to the UK, a traditional destination for US presidents, though he also mentioned Saudi Arabia as an alternative option.
