US president Donald Trump features on the front of the British newspapers after his conversation with the UK prime minister and comments about Gaza.

The Times concentrates on what it calls a “warm” first call between the two leaders, saying Keir Starmer is expected to resist pressure from the president to increase defence spending.

Starmer became the first European leader to speak to Mr Trump since he took office, according to The Daily Telegraph which reports the men agreed to meet soon with the prospect of a state visit to the UK.

Mr Trump’s comment that Palestinians leave Gaza to “clean out” the territory has sparked accusations of ethnic cleansing, says The Guardian.
