Trump says Keir Starmer is doing ‘a great job’
US President Donald Trump has said that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has “done a very good job so far” and that the pair have a “very good relationship”.
Asked by the BBC about his relationship with Sir Keir on board Air Force One, Trump said they would call “in the next 24 hours”.
Trump and the Labor leader have met on several occasions, including Sir Keir’s visit to Trump Tower in New York during the presidential campaign.
However, tech billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk has been a harsh critic of Sir Keir and has repeatedly called for his removal from office.
“I get along well with him. I like him very much,” Trump said.
“He’s a liberal, which is a little different from me, but I think he’s a very good person and I think he’s done a very good job so far.
“He has represented his country in terms of philosophy.
“I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him.”
