Starmer says 'of course' he'll discuss ban with Trump at G7

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has confirmed he will engage with U.S. President Donald Trump on the topic of immigration during the ongoing G7 summit in France. The discussion is expected to focus on the U.S. leader’s concerns regarding U.K. immigration policies, which have been a point of contention between the two leaders in recent months.

Trump has previously criticized Starmer for the UK’s approach to immigration and reluctance to support U.S. military actions in the Middle East. The G7 summit, which brings together leaders from the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Canada, Italy, and Japan, has been marked by a mix of diplomatic cooperation and public friction, particularly between Trump and his counterparts.

The immigration debate is likely to be one of several key topics on the agenda, alongside discussions on trade, energy, and global security. While Trump has a history of making pointed remarks about G7 leaders, Starmer has signaled a willingness to address the issue directly, emphasizing constructive dialogue importance.
