US President Donald Trump has revealed to GB News's Bev Turner the real reason why he likes Sir Keir Starmer.

Trump, who admitted Starmer is slightly "more liberal I am", said he likes the Prime Minister and hailed his efforts to secure a UK-US trade deal earlier this year.

"They've been working on this deal for 12 years, they got it done," he said. "It's a good deal. It's a good deal for the UK."

After touching down in Scotland, Bev Turner asked the president whether he has "any advice for the Prime Minister on free speech" adding that it is "a very important issue for people here."

Trump responded: "It is, but I like your Prime Minister. He is slightly more liberal that I am as you have probably heard. But he is a good man who got a trade deal done."
