Issues with ‘out of line’ UK ‘can be worked out’, Trump suggests

Keir Starmerprime Minister

Both of these relations are very important to us. We are not choosing between them - but that's historically been the position of the UK for many, many decades,

Starmer said

We'll see how things work out. It might happen with them, but it will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that."

Asked about Britain and whether it would face tariffs next, Trump said

The UK is way out of line,

he told reporters as he returned to Washington from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida

It's early days and what I want to see is strong trading relations, and in the discussions that I've had with President Trump that's what we have centred on."

Starmer told reporters at the weekend

We have a fair and balanced trading relationship which benefits both sides of the Atlantic,

the spokesperson said
