European leaders concerned as Trump questions Ukraine's role in conflict

Donald Trump has made controversial statements about Ukraine, including calling President Zelensky a "dictator" and suggesting Ukraine is to blame for the invasion. These comments have alarmed European leaders, who are concerned about shifting U.S. policy under Trump. Sir Keir Starmer is set to visit Washington next week to address these issues. His goal is to clarify U.S. support for Ukraine and counteract Trump's disinformation, while also promoting a U.S. security guarantee for Ukraine that would involve European forces. Starmer faces challenges in navigating Trump's views without causing offense. Previous leaders have struggled to influence Trump, and the current situation emphasizes the need for a strong, respectful approach to ensure U.S. commitment to Ukraine's security.
