Starmer reaffirms support for Ukraine after White House meeting
bbc.com —
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer spoke with US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after a tense meeting at the White House. Starmer reaffirmed his strong support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict. The meeting between Trump and Zelensky turned confrontational, with Trump criticizing Zelensky for not being grateful for US aid. Zelensky left without signing a minerals deal, and a scheduled press conference was canceled. Starmer had met Trump the day before to discuss a new US-UK trade deal and delivered a letter from King Charles III inviting Trump for a state visit. Speculation about a US security commitment for Ukraine was not confirmed.
