The recent meeting between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump received minimal attention in US media, contrasting with the extensive coverage in the UK. While UK outlets portrayed the encounter as significant and diplomatic, American newspapers like The New York Times and USA Today relegated the story to secondary importance. The most coverage focused on Trump's remarks about other matters, notably his comments on Ukraine, rather than the diplomatic undertone of the meeting, which included an invitation from King Charles III for Trump’s state visit.
The encounter did not make the print front page and by Friday morning GMT it had vanished from the front of the website.
Starmer deployed a mixture of flattery, deference and even a royal invitation for a second state visit.
