As the 2024 US presidential election looms, the UK, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, is assessing the implications of a possible Kamala Harris or Donald Trump presidency on the "special relationship." Recently, Starmer met with Trump, signaling the UK’s diplomatic efforts to establish connections with the former president who might return to office.

Both outcomes could redefine UK-US relations, particularly regarding climate change, trade, and foreign policy. Diplomatic ties with the US remain a top UK priority.
