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.

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.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is rallying behind CBS News as its parent company reportedly mulls a settlement with President Trump following his $10 billion lawsuit.

Donald Trump finally spoke to Keir Starmer over the phone on Sunday. Both world leaders “stressed the importance of the close and warm ties” between their countries, according to No.10. The US president was inaugurated for his second term in the White House on Monday, meaning Downing Street has been nervously waiting for his call all week.

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.

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

The call lasted 45 minutes and the two leaders discussed the release of Emily Damari, who was held by Hamas, as well as the two nations' economic relationship.

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.”

US President Donald Trump has said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has done a "very good job thus far" and that the pair have a "very good relationship". Asked by the BBC on board Air Force One about his relationship with Sir Keir, Trump added that they would be having a call "over the next 24 hours" - a conversation which has since taken place.
