U.S. President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer met to discuss Ukraine aid, but tensions flared as Trump remained non-committal on a U.S. backstop to deter Russian aggression. Starmer emphasized the U.K.'s readiness to support Ukraine, even suggesting 'boots on the ground,' but Trump’s stance raised concerns about his administration’s alignment with Russia. Trump also faced scrutiny for past comments about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whom he previously called a 'dictator.' The meeting highlighted growing divisions between the U.S. and its allies over Ukraine policy. Meanwhile, Starmer extended an invitation for a state visit from King Charles to Trump, aiming to reinforce diplomatic ties.
