MIAMI: US President Donald Trump applauded British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday for doing “a very good job”, saying the two leaders would have a call within 24 hours.
“I think he´s done a very good job thus far,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I like him a lot”.
His comments come after Starmer was recently on the receiving end of brutal verbal attacks by Elon Musk, a close ally of Trump and the world´s richest man.
Musk, who was appointed by Trump to head a new department of “government efficiency”, used his social media platform X this month to launch a barrage of posts against Starmer, including calling for his ouster.
Trump told reporters he “may not agree with his (Starmer´s) philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him.” “He´s liberal, which is a little bit different for me, but I think he´s a very good person,” Trump said.
“He and I have a call over the next 24 hours,” he added.
Britain´s new Labour government, elected in July, has spent months trying to build bridges with Trump´s team.
