What does Keir Starmer and Donald Trump’s meeting mean for UK tariffs and the Russia-Ukraine war?

The UK could be set to dodge US tariffs with work to begin on a new US-UK trade deal, it was revealed during Sir Keir Starmer’s visit to US President Donald Trump. The Prime Minister flew to the States yesterday for a highly anticipated first meeting with President Trump since he reentered the White House in January. The visit, which came amid uncertainty over peace in Ukraine and the impact on European security, saw Trump outline his hopes for a “great trade agreement” with the UK. Following discussions with Sir Keir, the President told a press conference on Thursday: “We’re going to have a great trade agreement, one way or another." #news #politics #economy #uk #uknews #ukpolitics #keirstarmer #donaldtrump #trump #putin #zelenskyy #usa #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #defence #kingcharles #tariffs
