Keir Starmer to address Trump's controversial views on Ukraine during Washington visit

Donald Trump has made controversial statements about Ukraine, including calling President Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator" and suggesting Ukraine is to blame for the invasion. These comments have alarmed European leaders, complicating diplomatic efforts. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is set to meet Trump in Washington next week. His goal is to clarify the situation in Ukraine and counteract what he describes as Russian disinformation influencing Trump’s views. Starmer aims to secure a US commitment to Ukraine's security, which is seen as vital for European stability. He faces challenges in navigating Trump's isolationist tendencies while promoting cooperation with European allies.
