Donald Trump reaffirmed his opposition to a looming UK decision to recognize a Palestinian state, but the US president passed up the chance to personally urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to reconsider the move.
“I have a disagreement with the prime minister on that score — one of our few disagreements actually,” Trump said at a joint news briefing during his state visit to the UK on Thursday, when asked about Starmer’s decision to press ahead with recognition. He stopped short of calling on the British leader to reverse course.
