UK-US relationship will be on the agenda of wide-ranging talks today between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Donald Trump in Scotland.
The Prime Minister will visit the President’s golf course in Turnberry during his private trip, ahead of the President’s landmark second State Visit to the UK in September.
The leaders are expected to hold one-on-one talks focused on the implementation of the landmark Economic Prosperity Deal, aimed at strengthening trade ties between the UK and the US, as well as "what can be done to urgently secure the ceasefire, end the ongoing suffering and starvation in Gaza, and ensure the release of hostages who have been held in cruel conditions for far too long," said the UK government.
"The prime minister of the UK, while he's not involved in this, will be very happy because you know, there's a certain unity that's been brought there, too," Trump said. "He's going to be very happy to see what we did."
Starmer had hoped to negotiate a drop in U.S. steel and aluminium tariffs as part of the discussions, but Trump on Sunday ruled out any changes in the 50% duties for the EU and has said the trade deal with Britain has been "concluded."
Securing peace in Ukraine will also be high on the agenda, with the Prime Minister and the President expected to reflect on the progress made during their 50-day push to strengthen Ukraine’s defence and increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to engage in meaningful negotiations.
After their meeting they will travel together to a private engagement in Aberdeen.
