Starmer Retrieves Trump's Papers During UK-US Trade Deal Signing at G7
In an unusual turn of events at the G7 summit in Canada, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was seen quickly retrieving documents that had been scattered by US President Donald Trump during the signing of a new UK-US trade agreement.
The Incident
The incident occurred when President Trump opened his folder, causing several papers to fall to the floor. Starmer quickly bent down to gather them.
Starmer's Explanation
Starmer later told reporters that his actions were instinctive, as he was conscious of potential security concerns. He emphasized the importance of the documents.
Trump's Gaffe
Adding to the moment, Trump mistakenly announced the deal as being with the European Union instead of the UK.
Clarification and Implications
Starmer clarified that the agreement would affect tariffs on cars and aerospace. He highlighted this deal as a significant sign of strength in UK-US relations. He also dismissed any worries about Trump's condition, confirming that the former president was "in good form" during their meetings.
