Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on January 8, 2026, to discuss Euro‑Atlantic security and the need to deter an increasingly aggressive Russia in the High North. The leaders agreed that European allies have stepped up in recent months to defend Euro‑Atlantic interests, but Starmer said more could be done to protect the area. Both sides expressed a desire to speak again soon. The conversation took place between the Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street and the President, as reported by the Prime Minister’s Office and the Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer. The discussion highlights ongoing cooperation on security issues amid rising tensions in the Arctic region.
