Keir Starmer has been urged to channel Donald Trump in his negotiations over EU access to Britain’s waters. Countries, including France, are said to want to tie a new post- Brexit security deal to more beneficial access to the UK’s seas.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has claimed the UK is ready to retaliate against US tariffs just weeks after Donald Trump vowed to spare Britain from his trade war. The Government is currently engaged in last-minute talks with the White House ahead of a 25 per cent tax on car imports and potential broader tariffs on other goods,

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Donald Trump discussed UK-US trade talks, with negotiations on an "economic prosperity deal" continuing. Britain seeks an agreement before Trump's April 2 tariff announcement to avoid economic fallout.
