REPORTER: What’s your common ground with PM Starmer?
POTUS: “He loves his country and I love our country.”
POTUS Trump: “I’ve had problems with the EU because… they’ve tariffed us. They do it in the form of a VAT tax, which is about 20%. They sue our companies, they sued Apple… and we’re going to change that. We’re going to have reciprocal tariffs.”
VP: “We do have a special relationship with our friends in the UK and European allies, but we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that effect not just the British… but also effect American technology companies and by extension American citizens.”
POTUS Trump on a potential peace deal: “Trust and verify, let’s call it that… You never know what you’re getting… I have confidence that if we make a deal, it’s going to hold.”
