Live updates: Trump holds press conference with British PM Starmer
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Trump are holding a joint press conference at the White House on Thursday as European allies scramble to respond to the president’s approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
Ahead of his Washington visit, the prime minister pledged to increase the United Kingdom’s defense budget as leaders across the Atlantic seek to persuade Trump to maintain support for Ukraine and NATO allies.
The president on Thursday also announced that tariffs will officially hit Mexico, Canada and China next Tuesday, fulfilling a campaign promise to crack down on immigration and the flow of fentanyl into the country.
On Capitol Hill, the Senate will hold a preliminary vote to advance the nomination of Linda McMahon, whom Trump tapped to lead the Education Department. Earlier on Thursday, a Senate committee voted to move Trump’s pick to lead the Labor Department, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, to the Senate floor.
