Starmer hosts summit to strengthen NATO and defenses

Keir Starmer is hosting a summit in London today with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This meeting follows a tense exchange between Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump, which raised concerns about U.S. military support for Ukraine. Leaders, including France's Emmanuel Macron and Italy's Giorgia Meloni, aim to strengthen NATO and European defenses against Russia. Starmer plans to encourage increased defense spending among the 18 attending countries, while also addressing the potential impact of U.S. support changes. Zelensky's visit includes a meeting with King Charles and discussions on military aid. The UK has signed a loan agreement with Ukraine for military support, hoping to recover costs from frozen Russian assets.
