Starmer is set to host a defense summit with leaders from 16 countries, including Canada and France, to discuss military support and a peace deal for Ukraine. The summit aims to maintain unity among Western allies amid recent tensions. Zelensky responded to the Oval Office confrontation by expressing gratitude for U.S. support and emphasizing the need for security guarantees in any peace agreement. European leaders have rallied around Zelensky, contrasting sharply with Trump's remarks.
