Donald Trump has hinted that the UK can be spared the American rates in a sign of hope for Keir Starmer.
The American president fed the fear of a global trade war because he confirmed that he is imposing taxes on the EU.
However, he suggested that although Great Britain is 'out of line', he believes that this can be 'worked out' with the PM.
Mr. Trump has already hit Mexico, Canada and China and demands concessions to areas such as immigration and trade.
Asked about the prospect of rates by the BBC this morning, Mr. Trump said: “UK is not in line, but I am sure that … I think it can be worked out.”
Mr. Trump said that his discussions with Sir Keir have been 'very nice' so far, adding it: 'We have had a few meetings. We have had countless phone calls. We can find it very well. '

The president, on the other hand, said that rates 'certainly' will be placed on EU goods, whereby the American trade deficit with the block is described as 'an atrocity', which means 'they take almost nothing and we take everything out of them'.
British ministers have previously suggested that the UK could avoid American rates because America is not a shortage with Great Britain on the trade in goods.
It is thought that EU officials have already drawn up unforeseen plans to take revenge at American rates.
Sir Keir was careful when he was asked yesterday about Mr. Trump's actions and told reporters: “It's early days. What I want to see are strong trade relationships. '
The prime minister added: “In the discussions I had with President Trump, that is what we have focused on – a strong trade relationship.”
Mr Trump has announced that he will impose 25 percent trade tax on goods from the nearest neighbors of America and the largest trading partners – Canada and Mexico – as well as a 10 percent levy on Chinese goods.
All three countries have sworn to respond in kind to the actions of the US president, causing the fears to arouse a global trade war.
Mr. Trump's comments will probably overshadow Sir Keir to Brussels today, where he makes efforts to 'reset' relationships with the block.
Sir Keir will encourage the EU countries to wear more of the aid for Ukraine during the meeting in Belgium.
He will call them to follow the British and American sanctions on the faltering economy of Russia and to praise Mr Trump's threat of further restrictions, which he will claim to have “rattle” President Putin.
Due to the defense-oriented visit, Sir Keir will also meet the NATO-Secretary General Mark Rutte at the Alliance head office.
They can discuss Mr Trump's insistence that he wants to annex Greenland, currently the territory of NATO bondmate Denmark, and make Canada the 51st state of America.

“I am here to work with our European partners to keep track of the pressure, focused on the energy income and the companies that deliver its rocket factories to crush the Putin war machine,” Sir Keir said.
“Because in the end, in addition to our military support, that is what peace will bring closer.”
The Conservatives have put the Prime Minister five 'tests' about his approach to Brexit, and claim that if he fails, this will prove that he is willing to 'undo' the settlement that have reached the tories while they have the power are.
Under the commitments that the Tories have demanded, the UK has continuous freedoms about negotiations on trade agreements and control over the borders outside the internal market.
