How will Starmer manage UK-US trade talks with Trump and Israel-Iran crisis?

The escalating conflict between Israel and Iran is likely to be high on the agenda as world leaders gather in Canada on Monday. Sir Keir Starmer said that the G7 meeting in Alberta would provide an opportunity for allies to make the case for de-escalation in the “fast moving” situation in the Middle East, with President Trump among those set to attend. Leaders have been urging calm in recent days since Israel first launched strikes against Iran before the weekend, with Starmer having held calls with Mr Trump, French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Friedrich Merz among others. The Prime Minister called for “restraint and de-escalation” during a bilateral meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Kananaskis, Canada, on Sunday evening.
