Donald Trump will meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, according to a source with knowledge of the matter as foreign leaders scramble for face time with the Republican presidential candidate ahead of the November 5 US election.
Starmer is set to meet the former US president at his Trump Tower property in Manhattan after addressing the UN General Assembly on Thursday evening, said the source, who requested anonymity as Trump’s schedule was not public.
Their encounter follows a separate meeting on Wednesday between Trump and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates president widely known as MBZ, the source added.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment, nor did the embassies of the United Kingdom or the UAE in Washington.
It was not immediately clear what Trump discussed with the UAE’s leader, nor what he planned to discuss with Starmer, both of whom are in the United States during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
