Summary
It was a wide-ranging and lengthy press conference between Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Trump’s luxury golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland. But what new things did we learn? Could anything sour their relationship? And how clean is Trump’s golf game?
Also, the questions keep flying in about the Epstein files. The President has again denied that he'd been told his name appeared in them.
Justin, Sarah and Anthony join 5 Live’s Matt Chorley to discuss all this and more.
Also, what do you really think of Americast? The team at the WWHQ are doing some research to find out the things you do and don’t love about Americast. If you want to help shape the future of the podcast, please answer some short questions using this link: bit.ly/americastfeedback
