  • COMBO-US-BRITAIN-VOTE-DIPLOMACY-TRUMP-STARMER<br>(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on November 07, 2024 shows Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer (L) looks on during a meeting in support of Moldavia as part of the European Political Community Summit in Budapest, on November 7, 2024, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (R) attends a town hall meeting moderated by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan, on September 17, 2024. Keir Starmer has insisted that the UK-US special relationship will "prosper" under Donald Trump but the British prime minister's Labour government has multiple reasons to fear the Republican's presidential comeback. Possible trade wars, Labour ministers' unflattering comments about Trump, and any role for Starmer critic Elon Musk in Trump's administration, would make for a bumpy ride between the allies. Starmer made a first move late on November 6, 2024, phoning Trump to offer his congratulations to the US president-elect as senior government figures played down earlier outspoken comments by Labour politicians.
