Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer will hold talks with Donald Trump in Washington within weeks as the “special relationship” faces strains under the incoming president. “So, lots to discuss, and I’m very confident that Keir Starmer will be discussing this with Donald Trump within the next few weeks.” Following speculation that Labour grandee Lord Mandelson’s diplomatic appointment could be blocked by the US, Mr Lammy said he is the “right man for this moment” with experience as a former business secretary and European Union trade chief. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “The Donald Trump I met… had incredible grace, generosity, very keen to be a good host, very funny, very, very, very friendly, very warm, I have to say, about the UK, our royal family, Scotland.” He said he sees Mr Trump as a “revisionist actor” who “wants to change the rules of the game” and seems very focused on the possibility of normalising Saudi relations with Israel, which he said can only come if there is a path to a two-state solution in the Middle East. Asked whether previous remarks by some senior figures in Government could be the reason why British ministers were not invited, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “No, and look, as I say, the UK and US have a deep and special relationship across wide range of important areas.” Number 10 denied there were concerns that the US could be forming a closer relationship with Italy after the country’s premier Giorgia Meloni was invited to the event in Washington.
