Trump Praises Starmer for Fixing 'Sloppy' Brexit Ahead of UK State Visit

US President Donald Trump has criticized the UK's Brexit implementation as "sloppy" but praised Prime Minister Keir Starmer for "straightening it out," highlighting a good trade deal between the US and UK under Starmer's leadership. Trump emphasized the special relationship between the US and UK, expressing confidence that Britain would support the US in conflict, and said he values his property interests in the UK. Ahead of his unprecedented second state visit to the UK in September, Trump declined calls to have Parliament recalled for an address, stating he preferred to "have a good time" and showing respect for King Charles. Despite his previous strong advocacy for Brexit, Trump's remarks align with recent polling showing declining public support in the UK and admissions from allies like Nigel Farage that Brexit has not met expectations. The visit will include appearances with King Charles and Starmer, but Trump will not address MPs as Parliament will be in recess. These comments come amid ongoing UK political efforts to reset relations with Europe and manage post-Brexit challenges, contrasting with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron who criticized Brexit's impacts.
