Scottish First Minister John Swinney stated that Donald Trump's planned state visit to the UK should not occur if the U.S. withdraws support for Ukraine. He described recent events involving Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "shocking." Swinney's comments come as European leaders meet in London to discuss support for Ukraine following a contentious meeting at the White House. Reports suggest Trump may consider halting U.S. aid to Ukraine, which recently marked three years since the Russian invasion. Swinney emphasized that if the U.S. maintains its support for Ukraine, the visit could proceed. He noted the importance of standing with Ukraine and European allies for security.
