British Prime Minister Keir Starmer‘s visit to the White House on Thursday provided a first look at how the United States’s “special relationship” with the United Kingdom will fare during President Donald Trump’s second administration.

The two leaders are due to discuss the war in Ukraine and a deal that would give the US access to its deposits of rare earth minerals.

So we've decided today to go further to begin work on a new economic deal with advanced technology at its core," Starmer told reporters during a joint press conference with Trump at the White House. Trump said he thought a deal with Britain could be reached quickly.
