AI-Generated Summary
The Prime Minister and President Trump differ greatly in personality and politics, yet recently displayed diplomatic niceties during their phone conversation.
When it comes to personality and politics, the differences between the Prime Minister and President Donald Trump are wider than the Atlantic Ocean.

Sir Keir Starmer and Trump spent 45 minutes on the phone over the weekend, just hours after the President had told the BBC that the Prime Minister had done "a very good job so far".
Trump acknowledged, "he's a liberal, which is a bit different from me," adding, "I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him".
