British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to meet soon on a call on Sunday when they also spoke about the royal family and of their two countries "warm ties", according to statement from Downing Street.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump discussed trade and the Middle East in their first conversation since Trump re-entered the White House. They also agreed to “meet soon.”

President Donald Trump praised UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for doing a “very good job” during his first months in office and said they would talk by phone soon.

Top Republicans have reportedly called on Trump to consign the deal to "the shredder for good" ahead of a call between the two world leaders this week.

Sir Keir Starmer will reportedly resist pressure from Donald Trump to boost defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. The Prime Minister had previously pledged to increase the amount spent on the British military from 2.3% to 2.5% but had not set a deadline.

Precisely when Sir Keir finds himself on a plane over the Atlantic, and which leaders are invited before him, will be pored over – and there are clearly some, such as Georgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy and the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, who are ideologically much closer to the president than Sir Keir will ever be.

United States President Donald Trump has offered an “olive branch” to the United Kingdom government, says Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.

US President Donald Trump said he gets on well with Keir Starmer - despite the UK being 'liberal, which is a bit different from me"- and said they would speak in the next 24 hours

Donald Trump said he has a “very good relationship” with Sir Keir Starmer, adding the prime minister has done a “very good job thus far”.

The Prime Minister's first call with Donald Trump since the US president's inauguration was "warm" and "constructive" and Sir Keir Starmer is looking forward to meeting him soon, Downing Street has said. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "It was a very warm call, and it was very constructive."

Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump "stressed the importance of the close and warm ties" between their countries and "agreed to meet soon" in a phone call, Downing Street has said. Mr Trump also gave his condolences to Sir Keir over the loss of his brother,
