Keir Starmer to Meet Donald Trump Amid Trade Deal and Defense Spending Concerns

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump, with discussions expected to cover trade deals, defense spending, and legal systems. Trump's team anticipates a "respectful" greeting, though some suggest Trump views Starmer as "a bore." A key point of contention may be the UK's legal system, which Trump's team views as a "two-tier" system affecting free speech. Starmer aims to soften Trump's stance on European defense and Ukraine. Discussions may also involve a potential Royal visit to the US and Trump addressing the Houses of Parliament. The Chagos Islands issue remains a potential point of conflict. Mandelson's role as UK ambassador could also be a factor.
