Zelensky arrives in Washington, after ‘successful’ UK-US talks | BBC News

Published

on



UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met US President Donald Trump during his first visit to the White House on Thurday.

Following the meeting, Trump said “a real trade deal” between the US and UK could happen “very quickly”, which could see the UK avoid the kind of tariffs the US has been threatening on some of its trading partners.

Later today, Trump is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington, where the pair will hash out and potentially sign a much-discussed minerals deal.

It comes after yesterday’s news conference, where Trump was asked by the BBC’s Chris Mason if he stuck by his claim that Zelensky is a “dictator”, to which the he replied: “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question”.

The BBC has found a consistent pattern of spikes in trades and finical markets just hours, or sometimes minutes, before the president’s most significant market-moving statements were made public.

Some analysts say it bears the hallmarks of illegal insider trading, whereby bets are made by people based on information that is not available to the general public.

While others say that some traders have become more adept at anticipating the president’s interventions.
