The UK prime minister said he wanted to meet Kamala Harris as well, but has struggled due to diary issues.
Sir Keir Starmer is to meet with Donald Trump later tonight. It is believed to be the first meeting between the current UK prime minister and former - and potentially future - US president. David Lammy, the Labour foreign secretary, has met Mr Trump's vice presidential candidate, JD Vance. Speaking to journalists, Sir Keir reiterated he wanted to meet both Mr Trump and Kamala Harris ahead of the November vote. However, meeting the Democrat is hard due to the 'usual diary challenges'.
I won't go into what we'll actually discuss, obviously, but that's the purpose of it, as you'd expect, ahead of the election.' Asked if a Trump presidency would leave Ukraine exposed, Sir Keir said the nature of the 'special relationship' between the UK and US 'always sits above whoever holds the particular office'. 'The US people will decide who they want as their president, and we will work with whoever is president,' he added.
