UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer meets US President Donald Trump at the White House
Trade between the two countries was high on the list of things to discuss.
That’s because earlier this month, Mr Trump had announced that he planned to bring in tariffs – a type of tax – on goods coming into the US from Canada, Mexico and China.
He also said it was likely that he would put tariffs on imports from the European Union.
This left people wondering whether the policy might impact trade with the UK, and this was a tricky and important topic for the prime minister to discuss with Mr Trump at their meeting,
After their conversation, Mr Trump confirmed the two countries could reach a trade deal “very quickly” and that there was “a very good chance” this would see the UK avoiding these tariffs.
“He’s a tough negotiator,” Mr Trump joked, saying that the prime minister had worked “very hard” to reach a deal.
