US President Donald Trump has said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has done a "very good job thus far" and that the pair have a "very good relationship".
Asked by the BBC on board Air Force One about his relationship with Sir Keir, Trump added that they would be having a call "over the next 24 hours".
Trump and the Labour leader have met on a number of occasions, including a visit by Sir Keir to Trump Tower in New York during the presidential campaign.
Tech billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk, however, has been strongly critical of Sir Keir and has repeatedly called for his removal from office.
"I get along with him well. I like him a lot," Trump said of Sir Keir.
"He's liberal, which is a bit different from me, but I think he's a very good person and I think he's done a very good job thus far.
"He's represented his country in terms of philosophy.
"I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him."
Trump was speaking during a visit to the press room on board the presidential plane on Saturday.

I don’t like this.
I know
2 tier Kier is not very popular
Sometimes I don’t understand Trump at all
Trump is being diplomatic. He’s not saying what he’s thinking. Trump has Elon Musk as his pit bull.
Make sure you kiss all of President Trump’s cheeks Keir...
Yup good observation
As much as we love Trump, he has always bragged about how everyone likes him and how he gets along with everyone and how he has a good relationship with every leader (even though that’s not true). He could just be throwing compliments at Starmer, warning him up for something, or this is just Trump needing to be admired. I’ve been with Trump since 2015, even went to Generals games as a kid and all of his casinos many times. But he still has narcissist traits, (99.9%) of politicians and celebrities do. But he’s still the greatest President of my lifetime and that includes Reagan.
Don’t believe everything he says, especially when it doesn’t sound right. It’s a strategy and is what always gets the libs worked up into a lather.
“Trump is being diplomatic. He’s not saying what he’s thinking. Trump has Elon Musk as his pit bull.”
I agree. The good cop and the bad cop.
“Trump is being diplomatic. He’s not saying what he’s thinking. Trump has Elon Musk as his pit bull.”
Agree. Offering a carrot - Do what Musk says and deal with Grooming and immigration (I think), and I’ll be your best friend.
He says the same “polite” things about lil Kin from North Korea. He doesn’t mean it
Boy has he gotten the wrong information!
Honestly folks I think Trump needs to chill for a while and stop doing rallies. It does not benefit him….he already WON! Don’t give the enemy ammo! The British folk are looking at Trump for a glimmer of hope.
I recall he said almost the exact same thing about Trudeau when they first met or talked.
Starmer is doing a horrible job - he’s easily the worst PM the Brits have had in almost a century.
A Trump endorsement is not helpful to the prime minister.
It’s Trump’s way to show Musk that ONLY Trump is in charge of foreign policies.
By endorsing Starmer, Trump is sending a message to Musk that he has to do what has been asked of him - and that is clearly NOT doing foreign politics!
Musk is utterly incompetent when it comes to foreign policies. He is the opposite of Trump’s “Art of the Deal” methods.
Starmer is a commie, hiding under the label of “Labour.”
Trump needs to talk less.
