UK’s Starmer seeks strong trade relations with the US in the wake of Trump’s tariffs

Associated Press  

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Sunday that he would seek a strong trade relationship with the U.S. after President Donald Trump suggested he would slap Europe with tariffs after he hit America’s biggest trading partners — Canada, Mexico and China — with import taxes. Starmer hosted Scholz at Chequers, the prime minister’s country residence in Buckinghamshire 30 miles northwest of London, where the two leaders discussed Ukraine and the Middle East, according to a Starmer spokesperson. The British government’s strategic defense review later this year will include lessons learned in Ukraine and the need to outmaneuver Russian President Vladimir Putin’s hostile acts across the continent, Starmer said. “When I started as prime minister seven months ago now, I was determined to strengthen the relationship between our two countries — already very good, but I thought it could be stronger on a number of fronts,” said Starmer, leader of the center-left Labour Party.
