According to a UK government press release published on 23 October 2026, the Prime Minister spoke that day with US President Donald Trump. The Prime Minister underlined the importance of Ukraine having full access to Starlink to continue defending itself against Russia's full-scale invasion, and recognised Trump's work to bring Putin to the negotiating table. The leaders agreed to work with international partners to end the bloodshed.
On energy, they welcomed continued collaboration between UK and US companies, especially on nuclear power, and discussed the Energy Secretary's decision to approve Jackdaw, which they said would benefit the UK economy and British workers' jobs. On the Falkland Islands, they discussed the Sea Lion project; the Prime Minister raised the economic consequences of Argentina's coercive measures for the UK and US and stressed respect for Islanders' right to develop their natural resources.
The leaders also discussed the Middle East, with the Prime Minister reaffirming UK support for Saudi Arabia in the face of hostile Houthi attacks, and said they looked forward to seeing each other soon.


Start the conversation. A good question is half the story.
