Donald Trump has sparked hopes in London to have a constructive relationship with the United Kingdom, and reported that he loved Sir Kerr Starmer “a lot” and that he could travel to Britain on his first foreign trip since his return to the White House.

“He is a liberal, and he is a little different from me, but I think he is a very good person and I think he is a very good work so far.

“Treat him well. Trump told the BBC:” I love him so much. ”

The positive American President’s comments will strengthen the sensation of Downing Street that Trump is not looking for a confrontation with Starmer, despite previous tensions with the Prime Minister and senior members of the Council of Ministers.

The expectation in London is that Trump will not oppose the appointment of Lord Peter Mandleson as a new ambassador to Britain in Washington; It is scheduled to start in the post next month.

Starmer’s allies also hope that Trump will not prevent a controversial deal in which Britain will abandon the sovereignty of the Shaghus Islands to Mauritius in exchange for long -term guarantees on the future of the UK military base in Diego Garcia.

Trump did not mention this issue when he spoke to Starmer before Christmas, and he spoke in the first air force, and told reporters: “It was not the number one in my list. I will be honest with you.”

The US President, “Jina”, told reporters on Saturday evening that he got well with Starmer. “He represents his country in terms of philosophy,” Trump said.

“I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him.” Trump met in Starmer for dinner last September at Trump Tower, while the two sides saw him as a positive whole.

When asked about the place he might go on the first international trip for the second White House, Trump said: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may be, the United Kingdom could be traditionally the UK can be.

“The last time I went to Saudi Arabia because they agreed to buy $ 450 billion in American goods.”

Starmer told the Financial Times in Kiev that he had had a “constructive” relationship with Trump, despite many criticism of the US President by the Labor Party ministers in the past.

Trump has cleared the involvement of the employees of the unlawful Kamala Harris presidential campaign, while artistic billionaire Elon Musk-whom Trump called “waste” in his administration-described as “Tyrannical”.

David Lami, the UK’s foreign minister, was previously called “a woman who hates, and the new Nazi social media”, although Lami said that the relations Monday at the Trump Tower dinner in September.

Dooning Street did not receive any signal from the Trump team that the president would prevent Mandason as a new ambassador to the United Kingdom, despite the role of former peer as the European Union Commissioner and its close ties with China. “There is no problem,” said one of the people who have seen this.

The Starmer team also trusts that Trump will participate in the viewpoint of US State Department officials and the Pentagon that the Shaghus Islands deal is good for American security, despite its criticism by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Trump’s positive comments about Starmer’s variation with those who made it since his inauguration on the European Union and Canada, both of whom suggested the president to affect punitive definitions.

Jonathan Reynolds, the UK’s commercial secretary, has argued that Britain should not be exposed through definitions, given that trade between the United Kingdom and the United States depends mainly on services and widely balanced.
