Trump, Starmer sign a tech deal

PRIME MINISTER Keir Starmer hosts President Trump at Chequers, the rural retreat for British leaders.

“The bond between our countries is like no other anywhere in the world,” Trump said at a news conference at Chequers, the 16th century manor house northwest of London that serves as a rural retreat for British leaders. The U.S. and U.K., the American president said, have “done more good for the planet than any other nation in history.”

Joining in the bonhomie, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that “time and time again, it is British and American men and women, side by side, changing the path of history and turning it towards our values, towards freedom, democracy and the rule of law.”

Trump and Starmer held a roundtable with business leaders as they signed the deal. They also had private meetings where the wars in Ukraine and Gaza and tariff rates the U.S. may set on steel imported from Britain were expected to be discussed.
