British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to meet soon on a call on Sunday when they also spoke about the royal family and of their two countries "warm ties", according to statement from Downing Street.

Top Republicans have reportedly called on Trump to consign the deal to "the shredder for good" ahead of a call between the two world leaders this week.

The Prime Minister's first call with Donald Trump since the US president's inauguration was "warm" and "constructive" and Sir Keir Starmer is looking forward to meeting him soon, Downing Street has said. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "It was a very warm call, and it was very constructive."

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump discussed trade and the Middle East in their first conversation since Trump re-entered the White House. They also agreed to “meet soon.”

Donald Trump finally spoke to Keir Starmer over the phone on Sunday. Both world leaders “stressed the importance of the close and warm ties” between their countries, according to No.10. The US president was inaugurated for his second term in the White House on Monday, meaning Downing Street has been nervously waiting for his call all week.
