U.K. Prime Minister fact checks Trump to his face
Summary
UK Prime Minister Keith Starmer fact-checked Trump during their White House meeting Thursday.
Starmer corrected Trump's claims about US-UK trade, noting it was "fair and balanced" with the US having "a little bit of a surplus."
He also refuted Trump's statement about Ukraine aid repayment, clarifying the UK "gifted" funds.
When Trump suggested US involvement might be unnecessary for Ukraine peace, Starmer emphasized America's role was "very much needed."
Starmer also defended UK free speech after JD Vance claimed it was "in retreat."

Good. Trump wants to act like a clown? Treat him like one. Respect is earned.
Clown-hood is also earned.
And Chump has earned that status beyond measure.
🤷♂️ 🖕
Trump sounds like he has no fucking clue what is going on.
Spoiler alert...
That's only because your listening to what he's saying...
You're. (It's contagious if left alone.)
NOOOOOOOO!!! I can't believe I've done this.
Trump must be literally going into debt buying enough fuel to burn all these bridges.
he’s stealing the funds from the american people
He's not spending his money; he's stealing ours.
