US President Donald Trump features on the front of Monday’s newspapers after his conversation with the Prime Minister and comments about Gaza. The Times concentrates on what it calls a “warm” first call between the two leaders, saying Sir Keir Starmer is expected to resist pressure from the president to increase defence spending.
Sir Keir became the first European leader to speak to Mr Trump since he took office, according to The Daily Telegraph which reports the men agreed to meet soon with the prospect of a state visit to the UK. Mr Trump’s comment that Palestinians leave Gaza to “clean out” the territory has sparked accusations of ethnic cleansing, says The Guardian.
The Financial Times also carries Mr Trump’s comments and says his drive for deregulation is increasing pressure on the EU to cut sustainability plans. The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz occupies the front of the Daily Express with a message from 94-year-old Holocaust survivor Susan Pollack to “never forget”.
The Daily Mirror also focuses on the anniversary, with Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich, also 94, returning to the camp because she does not want her family to be forgotten. Health matters occupy the front of The i Paper, which reports more A&E patients will be seen at home and local treatment hubs under plans for reforms of the NHS.
