The Times says that Sir Keir Starmer will not back the EU in a trade war with the US, with the prime minister saying it is in Britain's "vital interests" to avoid a conflict with its most important allies. The paper says the threat of tariffs overshadowed his bid for a Brussels "reset". The second story is on the NHS refusing to publish the full report on the treatment of Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in Nottingham, because of patient confidentiality and data protection issues.

The Daily Star has its own take on US foreign policy as it mocks up a poster saying "Missing Brain" alongside a picture of Trump. It says the "errant cerebrum" was last spotted "sparking a global trade war, spooking financial markets and accusing baffled Britain of being 'out of line'".

The i leads on the UK's political relationship with Europe as it says there are cabinet tensions on a post-Brexit migration deal. The paper reports the EU is insisting on a migration deal for under-30s as a key demand for a Brexit "reset" but Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has argued this would undermine the government goal of bringing down net migration.

The Guardian says Sir Keir is facing a revolt within his own party over potential backing for a new oilfield. The prime minister is facing a growing internal backlash, the paper says, with energy secretary Ed Miliband and Chancellor Rachel Reeves on opposite sides of the debate.
