Trump says he ‘really likes Starmer, even though he’s a liberal’ – UK politics live

US president praises PM and says world leaders who flatter him are ‘just trying to be nice’

Donald Trump said he “really likes” Keir Starmer in his BBC interview. He said:

I really like the prime minister a lot, even though he’s a liberal.

He did a good trade deal with us, which a lot of countries haven’t been able to do.

King Charles will host Trump at Windsor Castle, about an hour from central London, the palace said in a statement. The usual venue for state visits, Buckingham Palace, is undergoing significant renovations this year.

Donald Trump’s heading back to Britain. Cue a load of complaining.

Trump’s Brit fans want a proper address to parliament — while the government insists it’s not shielding the US president from scrutiny.

The U.S. president has been invited by King Charles III to return to the U.K. The September 17-19 trip will be Trump’s second full-blown state visit after an earlier trip across the pond in 2019.

But MPs are already griping about the format of the trip — with fans clamoring for more, and Trump’s detractors demanding a rethink.
