U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at Trump’s Scottish golf resort for wide-ranging talks dominated by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and future UK-U.S. trade relations.
Starmer pressed Trump to take stronger action to address hunger in Gaza, while Trump pledged to open new food centers and discussed the possibility of the UK recognizing a Palestinian state. The leaders also addressed the ongoing war in Ukraine, with Trump signaling increased pressure on Russia for a ceasefire. Trade issues, including tariffs on UK goods and steel, were also on the agenda, as both leaders sought to refine post-Brexit economic ties.
The summit was marked by Trump’s characteristic showmanship, overshadowing Starmer at times, but resulted in some substantive policy discussions.
