The UK prime minister, however, ignored journalists’ questions about whether he had secured US guarantees for European peacekeeping forces that could be deployed in Ukraine.
Before the meeting, Starmer had stated that only US support could ensure lasting peace in Ukraine.
Background:
- Starmer’s visit follows that of French President Emmanuel Macron, who also held talks with Trump regarding the deployment of European peacekeeping forces.
- However, Macron also failed to secure a firm commitment on the idea of “support”.
