Trump praises the British Prime Minister

According to RCO News Agency, US President Donald Trump announced in an interview about his good relationship with British Prime Minister Kerr Starmer and said, “He has done his job very well so far.”

The English media “Daily Mirror” reported that Trump said in an interview from the place of the American presidential plane known as “Air Force One”: “Despite the fact that Starmer is a liberal, which is a little different from my approach, I get along well with him. “

Trump said he plans to have a phone conversation with the British prime minister “within the next 24 hours.”

Daily Mirror considered Donald Trump’s praise of the British Prime Minister to be contrary to the criticisms and accusations that “Elon Musk”, an American billionaire close to the American President and the director of the Government Efficiency Organization in his cabinet, recently made against the British Prime Minister.

Musk, who is the director of well-known technology companies including SpaceX and Tesla, has called for the dissolution of the British Parliament and the holding of another election in this country by publishing material against Starmer on the X social network, and has also supported the extreme right in England.

According to Daily Mirror, the London government has tried to refrain from criticizing Trump in the wake of Trump’s controversial positions and controversial executive orders that he signed immediately after the start of his new presidential term. London, meanwhile, is trying to convince Trump to back off from imposing punitive trade tariffs against it that would raise prices in the UK.

“I get along well with him,” Trump said of Starmer. I love him very much. “He’s a liberal, which is a little bit different from my perspective, but I think he’s a very good person and he’s done a very good job so far.”

He added: “Starmer represented his country with his own philosophy and I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him.”

Trump also mentioned England, along with Saudi Arabia, as a possible destination for his first foreign trip in his second administration. He told the BBC reporter: “This trip may be to Saudi Arabia, it may be to Britain. “Traditionally, this trip may be to Britain.”

During the 2024 US presidential election campaign, Starmer last met for a two-hour dinner meeting with Trump at his New York City tower, alongside his administration’s Secretary of State, David Lemmy.

The British Prime Minister also had a phone conversation with Trump after his victory in the November 2024 presidential election.

British media reported that Starmer is expected to travel to Washington in the coming weeks.

Following Trump’s first victory in the US presidential election in 2016, British Prime Minister Theresa May became the first foreign leader to visit Trump after this victory.
