British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and United States President Donald Trump have agreed to push forward with ongoing discussions on a UK-US economic prosperity deal. According to a Downing Street spokesperson, the two leaders spoke on Sunday evening and reaffirmed their commitment to continuing the trade talks this week.

The call centered around bilateral negotiations aimed at strengthening economic ties between the United Kingdom and the United States. Both leaders expressed support for their respective teams, who are engaged in drafting the framework of the proposed agreement, and emphasized the importance of momentum in reaching a comprehensive deal.

In addition to the trade discussions, Starmer updated President Trump on the recent Coalition of Willing meeting held in Paris. He emphasized the need for sustained international pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Both Starmer and Trump agreed on the importance of continued coordination among allied nations in confronting Russian aggression.

The conversation underscored the shared strategic interests of the UK and the US, both economically and geopolitically. While no formal timelines or announcements were made regarding the trade deal, the leaders’ public commitment signals an intention to deepen transatlantic cooperation in the months ahead.

Downing Street confirmed that Starmer and Trump intend to remain in contact in the coming days, suggesting further high-level engagement as talks proceed. The economic deal, if finalized, is expected to include provisions on trade facilitation, investment, technology, and mutual regulatory standards, although specific details remain under negotiation.
