THE GUARDIAN: On first anniversary of Labour taking power, prime minister says it is ‘in the national interest’ for pair to connect
Keir Starmer has spoken about his good relationship with the US president, Donald Trump, and their shared family values.
To mark the first anniversary of the Labour government coming to power on Friday, the prime minister spoke to the BBC podcast Political Thinking and said it was “in the national interest” for the two men to connect.
“We are different people and we’ve got different political backgrounds and leanings, but we do have a good relationship and that comes from a number of places,” he said.
“I think I do understand what anchors the president, what he really cares about. For both of us, we really care about family and there’s a point of connection there.” » | Jamie Grierson | Friday, July 4, 2025
