Starmer touts Trump relationship
Sir Keir Starmer, Britain’s prime minister, said he could strike a trade deal with Donald Trump and avoid punitive tariffs on the UK as he dismissed as “noises off” Elon Musk’s strident criticism of his leadership.
Starmer, speaking to the Financial Times on a visit to Kyiv, insisted Trump’s inauguration on Monday would not add to his political woes, saying they had a “constructive” relationship that would survive the outpourings of the incoming president’s ally Musk, the world’s richest man.
