It was a good weekend for Keal Starmar in his exploration of doing a close job with Donald Trump.
The new president praised the prime prime minister and praised the journalist of the Air Force 1.
“I do well with him. I like him very much,” said Trump.
“He is liberal and a little different from me, but I think he is a very good person. I think he has done a very good job.”
And it may take six days from the inauguration of Trump to the end, but the pair made a seemingly friendly 45 -minute call on Sunday.
According to the No.10 spokesman, he paid his priority, “I respect the role of President Trump in securing the suspension of landmarks and hostage transactions.”
The pair also discussed trade and economy, the importance of “closely and warm bonds between the United Kingdom and the United States”, and Trump’s affection from the royal family.
“They agreed to meet immediately and were looking forward to the discussion,” said Spokesman.
However, the two men seemed to avoid talking about many competitors that could derail their flower bromans.
Here, Huffpostuk is examining the problems avoided over the phone and why it could be a major division among the two leaders.
Tariff
Trading between the United Kingdom and the United States was discussed over the phone, but it was probably not surprising that the troubles of tariffs.
Starmer had previously talked about agreeing to a free trade contract with the Trump administration, but failed when Tory last was in an elliptical office -the president of all foreign imports to the United States. The purpose of slapping is a large -scale flight.
The Minister of Labor wants to persuade Trump to eliminate British products from such accusations for such a major damage caused by such a movement to the British economy.
However, the relationship between Washington and London was able to get deep frozen to proceed with the president.
Chagos Islands
Trump is known to be skeptical of the UK plan to hand over the island to Mauritius.
Under the agreement announced by the government last year, the future of US military bases in Diego Garcia will be secured for at least 99 years.
At that time, Foreign Affairs David Ramy said that this was “strengthened our role in the protection of global security,” and was supported by former President Joe Biden.
Starmer wanted to approve the agreement with the Maurician government before Trump returned to the White House, but eventually had to be defeated earlier this month.
Critics have accused the President that the President is effectively giving the President the rejection right to the British foreign policy, and all eyes are a great shy for Trump in order of priority. It’s now about trying to block.
Defense expenditure
Trump has previously said that all NATO members would like to spend 5 % of the people’s national income, but not even the United States has achieved their goals.
Therefore, he is unlikely to be very satisfied with the Times’s front page this morning. It reports that it is preparing to abandon workers’ pledges that will reach 2.5 % by 2030.
According to papers, PM believes that the financial condition is now not reached before 2032.
Therefore, the priority may be a serious explanation if he and Trump meet the next time they meet each other.
Ukraine
If Trump sets an approach to a war in Ukraine, another military headache for priority may come.
Surprisingly, the president did not follow the pledge of ending the dispute within 24 hours after re -entering the White House, but what his long -term position in the war was. It is unknown.
Starmer signed Ukraine for a 100 -year partnership when he visited Kiev earlier this month.
The Prime Minister states: “To protect yourself from the invasion of Russian field BAR and support Ukraine to rebuild the future of prosperous sovereignty is essential for planning the government’s security foundation and change.”
Meanwhile, Trump had previously expressed his praise for Vladimir Putin, and did not sign a sign that the Biden administration would continue to support Ukraine’s military and financial support.
Climate change
One week ago, one of Trump’s first act after the inauguration ceremony was to sign the Presidential order that withdraws the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
“The United States does not interfere with its own industries, but China is polluted with exemption,” he said.
It quickly made him prioritized and the commitment to the green agenda.
Secretary Ed Milliband Energy told the House of Representatives that the British government would “find a common base,” said the British government with the Trump administration.
But as in many other policy fields, it will be easier than to say.
