The Prime Minister spoke to the US president while visiting the UK’s allies in the Gulf region.
Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to Donald Trump about the need for a “practical plan” to get shipping going through the Strait of Hormuz in the wake of the Middle East ceasefire.
It comes as the Prime Minister is visiting allies in the Gulf for talks on how to support the pause in fighting and secure a permanent reopening of the key shipping strait.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister spoke to President Trump from Qatar this evening.
“The Prime Minister set out his discussions with Gulf leaders and military planners in the region on the need to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the UK’s efforts to convene partners to agree a viable plan.
“They agreed that now there is a ceasefire in place and agreement to open the Strait, we are at the next stage of finding a resolution.
“The leaders discussed the need for a practical plan to get shipping moving again as quickly as possible.”
