Keir Starmer meets Donald Trump for the first time since Trump made remarks that Labour described as a “no Churchill” dig about the UK prime minister. The meeting takes place during a gathering of G7 leaders in France on Monday. It occurs amid an ongoing dispute over defence spending that some officials and outlets say risks dominating attention at the summit. The reports frame the encounter as part of broader efforts by UK and US leaders to engage on priorities discussed at the G7, while the public disagreement over military budget commitments remains a key backdrop. The sources do not provide detailed specifics of what is discussed in the bilateral meeting, focusing instead on the timing and the renewed contact between the two leaders. Overall, the coverage emphasizes the political context created by Trump’s earlier comments and the summit environment shaped by tensions around defence spending commitments.
