Starmer and Trump to hold ‘one-on-one' talks at G7 in push to wrap up trade deal
The Prime Minister said he expected the economic pact to be completed 'very soon' ahead of a meeting with the US president at the conference in the Canadian Rockies on Monday. Britain's long-coveted free trade deal with Washington was agreed upon last month but is yet to be implemented, with both sides yet to take the necessary steps to reduce tariffs. Asked whether he would be able to finalise the deal as he crosses paths with Mr Trump at the international leaders' summit in Kananaskis, Sir Keir said: 'I'm very pleased that we made that trade deal, and we're in the final stages now of implementation, and I expect that to be completed very soon.' Ahead of an expected bilateral meeting with the US president on Monday afternoon, he said: 'I'll be having a one-on-one with him. 'I think I'm seeing him on a number of occasions today because we're in all of the sessions together, so I'll be having a lot of conversations with President Trump. 'We will be talking about our trade deal… because that really matters for the vital sectors that are safeguarded under our deal, and we've got to implement that.' The Prime Minister is walking a diplomatic tightrope as he seeks to strengthen ties with Canada, the G7 host nation, while keeping the US president, who has repeatedly threatened to annex the country, on side. On Sunday, Downing Street confirmed efforts to revive stalled trade negotiations between London and Ottawa after a bilateral meeting between Sir Keir and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. In warm words at the top of the talks, the UK leader challenged Mr Trump's call for Canada to become a '51st state', speaking of the importance of Britain's relationship with the country as 'independent, democratic sovereign countries'. In recent months, the UK has held a series of engagements aimed at securing a reduction in the tariffs Mr Trump imposed on Britain and the rest of the world on April 2. Along with 10% tariffs on all British goods, the president imposed 25% levies on cars and steel. He later increased the tariff on steel to 50%, but gave the UK a reprieve, keeping its rate at 25% until at least July 9. Under the broad terms of last month's agreement, the US will implement quotas that will effectively eliminate the tariff on British steel and reduce the tariff on UK vehicles to 10%. It comes after reports suggested the US could also push for the NHS to pay more for American drugs in exchange for softened tariffs, with White House sources telling the Telegraph the service would be expected to pay higher prices. Downing Street insisted the Government will 'only ever sign trade agreements that align with the UK's national interests' but did not rule out discussing the issue with Washington. 'We have well-established and effective mechanisms for managing the costs of medicines in place, and the voluntary scheme we have with the industry plays an important role in securing rapid access to new medicines, supporting economic growth and ensuring our health service is financially sustainable,' the official said. Elsewhere, the White House has voiced concerns about plans to build a Chinese embassy near London's financial centres, with reports suggesting the issue has been raised in trade talks. The redevelopment proposals for the former site of the Royal Mint were called in last year, and ministers will now have the final say on whether the project goes ahead. On his way to the G7, Sir Keir was asked by reporters whether he was confident the matter would not undermine efforts to complete the trade deal, and whether US objections would be taken into consideration in the Government's decision-making. He said: 'We will act in our own national interest at all times on any issue, including in relation to the embassy. 'We will carefully balance what is in our national interest in any decision that we take.' Sir Keir faces a busy week of diplomacy as leaders from the world's major economies descend on a luxury mountain lodge in the Rockies amid spiralling conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. The Prime Minister joined Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, Mr Carney and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for a glass of wine and informal discussions on Sunday night. Downing Street dismissed suggestions the get-together had been a 'Trump-handling' exercise to proof the summit against the US president's unpredictability as leaders seek to put on a united front in the face of heightened global instability. On Monday, Mr Trump suggested kicking Russia out of the G7 had been a mistake as he met the Canadian prime minister for bilateral talks at the start of the conference. Number 10 said the remarks were 'a matter for the US' but that Sir Keir was 'happy with the make-up' of the international group as it stands. As well as heads of government from Canada, the US, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is also expected to attend the conference. Mr Trump, who said he had told his Russian counterpart the war 'should end' in a phone call on Saturday, is expected to meet Mr Zelensky on the sidelines of the summit.

Starmer and Trump to hold ‘one-on-one' talks at G7 in push to wrap up trade deal
Sir Keir Starmer has said he will meet Donald Trump for 'one-on-one' talks in a push to get the US-UK trade deal over the finish line as leaders seek to put on a united front in the face of global instability at the G7 summit.
