Starmer's challenge: bridging Trump and European relations

Keir Starmer returned from a positive meeting with Donald Trump, but hopes for Ukraine peace talks quickly faded. Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating he lacked the ability to defeat Russia without U.S. support. Trump's harsh remarks included a demand for Zelensky to be more grateful, leading to the cancellation of a planned press conference. This shift highlights the challenges Starmer faces in bridging U.S. and European relations amid rising tensions. As European leaders prepare to show support for Ukraine, pressure mounts on the UK government to clarify its stance. A summit in London on Sunday is now seen as increasingly important for addressing the situation.
