UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Trump have said they're at the "next stage of finding a resolution" to open the Strait of Hormuz, says Downing Street, APA reports citing BBC.

Starmer has just landed in Qatar, from where his phone call with the US president took place. 

A statement from No 10 says that Starmer set out the UK's "efforts to convene partners to agree a viable plan" to open the shipping lane. 

"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," it says.

It adds that Starmer and Trump "discussed the need for a practical plan to get shipping moving again as quickly as possible".
