U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with U.S. President Donald Trump at Trump's Scottish golf resort for talks dominated by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and ongoing trade negotiations. Starmer urged Trump to take a stronger stance on increasing aid access to Gaza and to push for a ceasefire, presenting a Europe-led peace plan and emphasizing the urgency of ending Palestinian suffering. The leaders also discussed refining a U.S.-U.K. trade deal, with Trump suggesting Starmer cut taxes and migration to strengthen his political position at home. Despite the serious agenda, the meeting was marked by Trump's dominance and self-promotion, as well as moments of awkwardness, including being drowned out by bagpipes. The summit highlighted both the challenges and opportunities in the U.S.-U.K. relationship amid global crises.
