President Donald Trump has confirmed that he will be meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the coming weeks. The decision was made after a recent phone conversation between the two leaders, during which Starmer requested the meeting.
During a press briefing in the Oval Office, President Trump stated that the meeting with Starmer would be friendly and that there are positive developments to discuss. He mentioned that Starmer expressed a desire to visit the US soon, possibly within the next week or two.
President Trump clarified that the meeting was initiated by Starmer, and he was open to the discussion without specifying the agenda. This announcement follows Trump's declaration of reciprocal tariffs without exceptions, indicating a shift in trade policies.
Additionally, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's visit to Brussels to urge European allies to take responsibility for conventional security on the continent aligns with the administration's focus on international relations and security.
