pay him over there. but he tried. we i think there's a very good chance that in the case of these two great, friendly countries, i think we could very well end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't deal where the tariffs wouldn�*t be necessary. we'll see. but he's he earned whatever they whatever they pay him. he earned today. he was working hard at lunch. and i'm very receptive to it. i think we in all fairness in all seriousness, i think we have a very good chance of arriving at a very good deal. jd and scott and howard, all the people are working on it, and i think we have a good chance at arriving at a deal that could be terrific, really terrific for both countries. okay. >> thank you. on the second part of the question, i think my views on putin are pretty well rehearsed and pretty well known. and my concern is that if there's a deal and i hope there is a deal, that it must be a lasting deal, that it's not a

temporary measure. and that is why i think it�*s really important that putin knows that this deal, a historic deal, which i very much hope comes about, is there is there and it's a lasting deal, and that we're able to deal with any inclination he has to go again or go further. >> i think we'll have two deals. i think we'll have a deal on ending the war, and i think we're going to end up with a great trade deal with you, and it's an honour to be with you. and i want to thank everybody very much. thank you very much. >> thank you, thank you, thank. >> thank you, thank you, thank. >> you. >> you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> well good evening everybody. it's patrick christys here. it's a slightly unusual start to patnck a slightly unusual start to patrick christys tonight. but what you have just seen, there has been quite an epic day in washington between prime minister keir starmer and president donald trump finishing on a real high note there, it must be, said trump, saying he thinks we can get two deals over the line one, a lasting peace in

ukraine, the second being a very, very good trade deal, as he says, between us and the us. he was saying that there might not be a need for tariffs at all, and that keir starmer was working very hard over lunch. and i think the quote there was, he's earned whatever the hell you he's earned whatever the hell you pay he's earned whatever the hell you pay him over there, which he might be surprised to learn, is not actually that much. but anyway, so there we go. i mean, there's been a heck of a lot to get stuck into. i think it's probably good at this point to just take an overview with my wonderful panel. we've got former conservative mp and the first tory peer, lord bailey, and ex labour party advisor matthew lars. anna, i�*ll start with you. your general feelings about how the day has gone, really, they�*re certainly ending on a high with that trade deal announcement. >> i mean, i think it's fairto say it's gone really as well as it could, could have gone. it'd be lovely to have heard trump actually say we were definitely going to get that trade deal. but the, the, the mood music, the body language has been very, very positive. and let's let's face it, i mean, this is a very big brexit dividend because it�*s

big brexit dividend because it's he's able to carve us out. he's got a big soft spot for us anyway. but he's able to do that deal with us in a way which he can't do with the eu. and you know that that is extremely. there were two things i wanted to see from today. one was the trade deal and we�*re on our way. trade deal and we're on our way. and two was to see them working together to secure that peace in ukraine. and we haven't quite got there with that, but we the mood music is positive and i think that's very important. >> yeah. sean your views i mean there are a couple of quite funny moments for me. we are going to be doing a bit of a blow by blow later on. some fantastic clips are coming out. you know, donald trump there initially complimenting keir starmer on his suit, which i think was a not so thinly veiled dig at the lord alli scandal, also referencing churchill saying it�*s great that the bust saying it's great that the bust of churchill is behind me here. starmer, then the brass neck on the guy coming out and saying, oh, it's so nice to see churchill in his rightful spot. starmer removed the churchill portraits from parliament when he came in, but in the round it

was a very cordial, very matey, chummy meeting. >> there's a few things to be said. firstly, those little digs show you just how much attention they are paying to britain. and months ago, on your on your sofa, i said i thought it was a liberty that the labour party went to america and campaigned against trump, but they shouldn't be campaigning against shouldn�*t be campaigning against any, any national leader anywhere. and he has been very statesmanlike. people like to denigrate trump and treat him like he he's a child and he's petulant. and look, there's been moments. but today he behaved very, very well because these are people who campaigned against him and he didn't hold it against them. and i think that's important as well. and if we switch on to the trade deal, this is a brexit dividend. because let's be very clear, one of the big points of contention is the car industry, of which we have little to none. and if we were in europe, we would be now having to face that lumpy situation because lots of european cars go to the states with low tariffs. but when cars come this way, they get very high tariffs. and trump's had high tariffs. and trump�*s had enough. he's not he's going to deal with that. and it means that we can deal in a very different arena because most of

our trade with them is services etc, etc. and i think that's very, very important. the last thing to say is as well, trump sort of embarrassed all of the european leaders because the thing he did, he tried to end the ukraine war. now, you may not agree with his tactics, but for all of the activity, none of the european leaders tried to end the war. and trump doing that sent a message that, yes, you may not like me, yes, you have disrespected me, but i am now doing yourjobs. and have disrespected me, but i am now doing your jobs. and for those i think keir starmer has done very well today, i will say that he�*s done very, very well. he's marching us back into the he�*s marching us back into the middle of the conversation. >> yeah, absolutely. well, look, we've got a huge amount of clips to go to very, very shortly. but matthew, i�*ll put it to you. the left have changed their tune on a trump state visit, haven't they? there you are. keir starmer, the man who used to want to abolish the monarchy, by the way, handing trump a piece of paper from the king, saying, please come on over to britain for an unprecedented second trip. david lammy was with him, david lammy on record saying he'd take to the streets if trump ever came again, quoted as calling him a neo nazi

sympathising womaniser or whatever it was, sitting there in the in the room with him. so, so what's going on? do labour does not have any principles? >> no. i mean, you know, clearly, you know, david lammy perhaps could have chosen his words a bit better in opposition, but he was very firmly in opposition there. pretty old comments from the first time. the first first trumps first time around. i don�*t think he has ever said don't think he has ever said that he shouldn't come for a second state visit. he is the president of our. >> wouldn't have him round for dinner. >> well, the king is going to have that pleasure rather than sir keir. and you get you get rather better catering at buckingham palace or windsor castle than you do at number 10. so look, i think that he�*s so look, i think that he's played a blinder today, as i think lord mandelson did yesterday. the reception, which got things off to a very good start, where he gave perhaps his most relaxed speech that i've ever heard him give. so i hope that peter had a hand in that. so i think i think that, you know, he's he's walked know, he�*s he's walked a tightrope really, really well because he was a great answer he gave there when he was somebody. one of the journalists asked him about his views on putin, and he said, my views are well known.

well, that's, you know, cause he doesn't wanna embarrass the president. 50 i think he�*s shown president. 50 i think he's shown that he can shine on the international stage today. >> internat
