Trump meets with UK Prime Minister Starmer on heels of EU trade deal

After securing an E.U. trade deal, President Donald Trump will meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland to discuss the U.K.'s trade agreement.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer meets with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the White House on February 27, 2025 in Washington, D.C.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also told reporters last week that Trump and Starmer will meet "to refine the great trade deal that was brokered," though the White House did not answer Fox News Digital’s questions about what specifically will be discussed over the weekend.

"The U.K. is the only country to have secured this deal with the U.S., reducing car export tariffs from 27.5% to 10%, saving manufacturers hundreds of millions each year and protecting hundreds of thousands of jobs," the British government said in a statement. "At the same time, the aerospace sector has seen the removal of 10% tariffs on goods such as engines and aircraft parts, helping make companies such as Rolls Royce more competitive and allow them to continue to be at the cutting edge of innovation."

"We are different people, and we’ve got different political backgrounds and leanings, but we do have a good relationship and that comes from a number of places," Starmer told BBC podcast "Political Thinking." "I think I do understand what anchors the president, what he really cares about."
