Trump, Starmer Praise Special Relationship, Discuss Immigration, Gaza Aid

U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at Trump's Turnberry golf club in Scotland, emphasizing the 'special relationship' between their countries while discussing key global issues. Trump praised Starmer's leadership, particularly highlighting his efforts to curb illegal immigration and praising Starmer's wife, Lady Victoria Starmer, as highly respected in the United States. Despite their political differences, the two leaders exchanged compliments and discussed cooperation on energy policies, including small nuclear reactors, and humanitarian efforts such as food centers to alleviate starvation in Gaza. Trump criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan, a political ally of Starmer, but Starmer defended Khan during the joint media session. The meeting also set a new deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine and looked forward to a state visit by Trump hosted by King Charles. Both leaders underscored the importance of strong immigration policies, with Trump warning about the risks of illegal immigration to Europe and the U.S., praising Starmer for his tougher stance on the issue.
