BEIJING (AP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in the Chinese financial center of Shanghai on Friday in his bid to boost business opportunities for U.K. firms in the world's second-largest economy, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled a possible opposition to any deal between Beijing and London.
Starmer has brought more than 50 business leaders on his trip to China, the first by a British prime minister in eight years.

Starmer and Carney are among a series of foreign leaders visiting Beijing as their nations seek to improve ties with China.
