Starmer's actions raise questions about international diplomacy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faced criticism during a meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. The encounter included mockery of Zelensky's attire and raised questions about U.S. support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia. In a separate event, UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer met with Trump, presenting him with a letter from King Charles. This invitation for a second state visit has drawn mixed reactions, especially given past criticisms of Trump by Labour officials. Starmer's invitation to Zelensky for a meeting in the UK aims to reinforce support for Ukraine. This gesture contrasts with the recent treatment Zelensky received in the U.S., highlighting the complexities of international relations amid the ongoing war.
