The two leaders have agreed on an economic deal that aims to reduce Trump&#8217;s tariffs on cars, aluminium, and steel, which the UK government hopes will be a first step towards a closer trading relationship. Starmer has also encouraged Trump to shift his position on Ukraine, after initially siding with Vladimir Putin and appearing to blame Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prime minister now faces the toughest diplomatic task of trying to persuade Trump to take a different path on the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. The White House does not consider Gaza as a priority, and Starmer is under pressure domestically to take further action against Israel. Government advisers are defensive, citing the UK&#8217;s actions to hold Israel accountable since Labour came to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starmer will press Trump to revive ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, after the US and Israel withdrew their negotiation teams from Qatar last week. A 60-day break from fighting is a prerequisite for a more permanent cessation of violence. The window of opportunity is narrow, but Starmer knows Trump is the only international figure who can put pressure on him to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 minutes of pops!

David Lammy, the foreign secretary, will be at a UN conference this week to establish a pathway to formal recognition. Monday&#8217;s meeting with the US president will be a test of whether the energy put into maintaining a good relationship with Trump has been worth it and how far Starmer is prepared to push to bring an end to the catastrophe in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump has expressed his admiration for Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, and has been working with him since before Trump&#8217;s re-election.
