Tories urge Starmer to challenge Trump on Ukraine claims during Washington meeting

Former Tory defense ministers are urging Sir Keir Starmer to confront Donald Trump over his claims that Ukraine started the war with Russia. This meeting in Washington next week will be Starmer's first face-to-face discussion with Trump since he became president. Starmer is expected to address the misinformation and clarify NATO's stance on potential peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. He aims to position himself as a mediator between the U.S. and Europe amid concerns over Trump's statements. The Prime Minister has indicated he is considering sending British troops to Ukraine if a peace deal is reached. European leaders are divided on this proposal, with some supporting it and others hesitant.
