Carl Court/Pool via REUTERS] Trump gave the Prime Minister the bizarre compliment after Sir Keir said the UK looks forward to welcoming him for what would be an ‘unprecedented’ second state visit.
President Donald Trump complimented Sir Keir Starmer on his ‘beautiful accent’ in the White House while refusing to apologize for calling Volodymyr Zelensky a dictator.
In a second press conference in the afternoon, both Trump and Sir Keir said the meetings were very productive and that the US and UK stand side by side in working to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to an end.
Sir Keir became the fourth world leader to meet with Trump since his second inauguration, arriving two days after French President Emmanuel Macron paid a visit to the White House.
When another reporter later asked Trump if he will apologise to Zelensky in person for calling him a dictator while praising Putin who is a dictator, the US president did not say he would.
