Deal suggests that Starmer has Trump's number
The Observer
|May 11, 2025
As far as optics go, last week’s Oval Office announcement of a trade deal with the UK was a triumph for Keir Starmer’s strategy of making nice with Donald Trump.
The details of the deal were thin. But the choice of Britain to be the first of what the president says will be dozens of trade deals in the weeks ahead seemed to confirm that the special relationship is alive and well.
In absolute terms, that is worse for Britain than the situation before Trump unilaterally imposed his “liberation day” tariffs on 2 April.
