Trump, meanwhile, was in the Oval Office flanked by some of his key staff and surrounded by reporters.

Also stood behind him was the UK’s Ambassador, Peter Mandelson, who shook Trump’s hand during the call.

Today, Trump announced a “complete and comprehensive” trade agreement with Britain, celebrating it as an “exciting day” for both nations. He described it as his “first” trade victory following the tariff war.

The leader of the United Stated also highlighted how it is a “special day” because it is 80 years since Victory in Europe Day.

Trump paid tribute to Starmer and his “very talented team for their outstanding work and partnership”.
