Starmer's trip yielded mixed results on Ukraine support

Prime Minister Keir Starmer returned from Washington with mixed results. He aimed to secure U.S. guarantees for Ukraine and avoid tariffs on British goods. While he built a positive rapport with President Trump, concrete commitments on Ukraine remain unclear. Starmer praised Trump for his support of Ukraine but faced challenges in pushing for stronger U.S. security guarantees. Trump acknowledged respect for Ukraine's president but did not fully endorse Starmer's requests, leaving the future of U.S. support uncertain. On trade, Trump hinted at a potential deal to eliminate tariffs but made no promises. Starmer emphasized a focus on advanced technology and AI, seeking to align Britain more closely with the U.S. in these areas.
