Starmer corrects Trump on UK Ukraine funding details

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer fact-checked former President Donald Trump during their meeting, clarifying that much of the UK's military aid to Ukraine was a gift, not a loan. This corrected Trump's earlier claim about the funding. Starmer's intervention follows similar comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who also addressed U.S. influence in Europe. Both leaders are emphasizing the need for European independence in foreign policy discussions. The exchange highlights ongoing debates about military aid to Ukraine and the financial responsibilities of supporting the country amid the conflict with Russia.
