Starmer felt discomfort watching Trump-Zelensky confrontation
Sir Keir Starmer expressed discomfort watching President Trump and Vice President Vance confront Ukrainian President Zelensky during a recent White House meeting. He stated that he does not believe Zelensky did anything wrong and emphasized the importance of UK-US relations. Starmer reaffirmed his trust in Trump, despite the tensions, and noted that he has spoken with the US President multiple times. He dismissed concerns about Trump's planned state visit to the UK, confirming that the invitation from the King still stands. European leaders are gathering in London to discuss support for Ukraine, while Starmer aims to boost UK defense spending to 2.5% of economic output by 2027. Zelensky is set to meet the King after the summit, following a warm reception from Starmer.
