Trump, Starmer discuss 'tough and fair' Ukraine peace deal during meeting at White House | N18G

President Donald Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House, where Trump emphasized that a minerals deal with Ukraine would serve as the security guarantee Kyiv needs against Russia, downplaying Starmer's plea for increased U.S. military support. Starmer praised Trump's role in making peace in Ukraine possible, while Trump expressed optimism about the progress of his efforts to broker a cessation of violence between Russia and Ukraine. Starmer described the proposed peace deal as “tough and fair” and committed to sending British military forces to support it, including ground troops and aircraft. This meeting came after French President Emmanuel Macron's visit earlier in the week, which showcased contrasting views on the Ukraine conflict, particularly regarding the U.S. push for a quick ceasefire. Starmer is the latest European leader to engage with Trump on the matter of Ukraine's security and peace negotiations.
