UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met US President Donald Trump during his first visit to the White House on Thurday. Following the meeting, Trump said “a real trade deal” between the US and UK could happen "very quickly”, which could see the UK avoid the kind of tariffs the US has been threatening on some of its trading partners. Later today, Trump is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington, where the pair will hash out and potentially sign a much-discussed minerals deal.
