Donald Trump hailed 'special' Keir Starmer and praised Brexit tonight as they staged a love-in at the White House.
The smiling PM was greeted by the president with a warm handshake outside the famous building in Washington.
In the Oval Office, Sir Keir handed Mr Trump a letter from the King inviting him for an unprecedented second state visit, and he responded that he would be coming to the UK 'soon'.
Mr Trump gave a hint that Britain - which he described as the 'No1 ally' - could be spared tariffs as the US goes on the attack over what it claims are unfair trade arrangements with the rest of the world.
Saying Brexit had 'worked out' after he accused the EU of 'screwing' America, the president said relations with the UK were 'different' and 'warm'. Sir Keir interjected that the US had a slightly positive trade balance with Britain.
