UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has sent his congratulations to Donald Trump - and the pair will be looking to meet soon.
After a close race, Trump beat out Harris for the US presidency, and Starmer is hopeful he and Trump can maintain the strong relationship between both regions.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says the pair first met in New York in September and seemed to hit it off - but there's still lingering questions concerning the UK's interactions with the Harris campaign.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Brady is our UK correspondent this evening.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey d Hey Hea, they're great to speaking again.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
So win is Stama going to host Trump in the UK.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So, first of all, there are plans for Starmer to
visit the United States and meet him in the Oval Office,
but there will be an invitation for Trump to come
and they're going to ask him to speak in Parliament
in London. Now they know he is a transactional president.
He is a very transactional man. We know that from
past experience and everything he has said. There was a
(00:29):
feeling that because he had the big state visit with
the Queen and he spent time privately with her, there
was a feeling there's not a great deal more that
the UK has to offer Donald Trump, but they feel
that they might just appeal to his ego by inviting
him to speak in Parliament. So let's see. But I
mean there's a lot concern about what this now means
for the UK relationship, the UK economy, defense, Europe, climate change,
(00:53):
I mean everything you would hope. They've been planning for
him to win. And I think Starmar's not stupid. I
think that's why he went and spent time with them
in New York. They had that dinner. They seemed to
hit it off, but then of course it was torpedoed
a bit A few short weeks later when Starmar's head
of operations, Sophia Patel posted on LinkedIn and said, I've
(01:14):
got a few spots available if you want to go
to America and campaign for Kamala Harris. Trump went mental
over that.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, now, how is that going to impact things? Because
that seems to me like probably at this stage the
biggest problem.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah. I think because he's won, I think he won't
care now. It would have been more fuel for the fire.
Had he lost. There would have been claims of foreign
interference in the election, despite the fact that the Trump
campaign had Elon Musk going around giving out million dollars here,
million dollars there. Nigel Farage turned up at the victory party.
You know, it's I don't know, We're in for a
(01:48):
strange time. But as I said to my team yesterday,
it's going to be an interesting four years.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Quite, isn't it. Henw what is Robbie Williams down to
upset his neighbors?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, another neighborly row in Holland Park, which is where
all the multi multi squillionaires live in a very posh
part of West London. Previously, Robbie Williams famously fell out
with Jimmy Page, the Led Zeppelin guitarist who lives on
the other side of Robbie's mansion, because there was construction
work going on and Jimmy Page felt it was like
living inside a heavy metal band with the noise and
(02:19):
the ambition and just the constant traffic of construction. Now
a neighbor on the other side seems to be upset
because Robbie has put in plans to cut down a
Norwegian maple tree that has some sort of fungus on it.
The neighbor unnamed and anonymous, so I'm guessing it's not
Jimmy Page or the papers would have had that. The
neighbor is basically saying that this can be treated and
(02:41):
it's an old tree and it should be left there,
and who's Robbie Williams to do this, So let's see
what the council decided. But then, yeah, Robbie Williams entertaining
the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
How is Camilla going to be well enough to attaind
Remembrance Day?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Do you think the whisper is Yes, she's had a
quiet week recovering in Wilton. She came back from this
big foreign trip. You know. They went to Australia, you know,
because of Charles's situation, New Zealand was removed from the itinerary.
Then they ended up in Samoa, and then they hit
India and some spa resort place that Camilla apparently loves
on the way back. So it was a long old trip.
(03:16):
And remember Charles, with the cancer treatment and everything. Camilla
has come back with quite a bad chest infection. We're
told she's recuperating this week. A lot of conspiracy theorists
here having a field day saying hang on. There was
a big story in the papers at the weekend, massive
investigation into the Royal money train and how they charge.
Because they own so much land, they're charging schools, prisons, charities,
(03:40):
mining rights, you name it. Money is flowing up towards
Charles and William. So a lot of people were saying, well,
it's very convenient that Camilla has suddenly gone sick for
a week. I think she'll be back and I think
they'll do their duty on Rememberance.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sunday, good luck tomorrow, night, Inda, Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's going to be interesting. My brother you look. Look
my brother who is a rugby expert and lives for
the game. He quite frankly, he summed it up. He said,
three out of four years we're number one team in
the world.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You don't have to be diplomatic on this show. I'm
gonna tell you now. I'm ready for you to thresh us.
So you're welcome to disclose if you want to ahead
of time.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh look, it's what we do. We play amazing rugby
in between world yeps and then we turn up and
it all goes wrong. But then we believe our own hype.
That is our problem with Ireland.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But there we are brilliant brilliance So I love it.
In the look after yourself, enjoy the game and we
have a chat again next week about it. Into Brady
