Keir Starmer denies Donald Trump snubbed him at the G7 summit in France after no one-on-one meeting was scheduled for the prime minister with the US president on the summit’s later days. Several reports say Trump and Starmer did not hold a bilateral meeting during the G7, with coverage noting that there were no plans for direct talks on Tuesday or Wednesday. Starmer, speaking at the G7 in Évian-les-Bains, says this does not reflect a personal slight. He says he and Trump get on well and that they have had “very productive” and “very good” conversations, including discussions that take place in group settings involving other leaders. While some outlets frame the situation as Starmer being “cut out” of a bilateral meeting, the prime minister’s position is that the lack of separate talks does not prevent cooperation or coordination between the two countries. One report also says Britain is ready to play a role in opening the Strait of Hormuz in connection with a peace deal between Iran and the US. Overall, the reporting centers on the contrast between the absence of scheduled direct meetings and Starmer’s insistence that his discussions with Trump have been constructive.
