Starmer's White House visit overshadowed by Zelensky's treatment

Keir Starmer returned from a White House visit with some positive outcomes, including a promise from President Trump not to impose tariffs on the UK. However, the success was overshadowed by Trump's harsh treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shortly after. Starmer's approach to foreign aid and defense spending marked a significant shift for the Labour Party. His bold stance aimed to strengthen ties with the U.S. but faced backlash, leading to the resignation of a key minister over the cuts. The fallout from the Oval Office meeting has complicated Starmer's position. While he initially appeared to gain favor, the negative perception from Trump's actions has forced him into damage control ahead of a crucial summit with European leaders.
