British Prime Minister sought security guarantees to Ukraine, Trump avoided his petition

Starmer, who first met with Trump in the White House, sought to get Trump's affection, saying that peace in Ukraine became possible only thanks to him.

Before the meeting, Starmer emphasized that long -term peace in Ukraine is not possible without solid American security guarantees, which Trump has almost completely rejected.

Trump expressed optimism that an agreement on a ceasefire in Ukraine could be achieved and that Russian President Vladimir Putin would respect such an agreement.

« We are discussing how it can function. We have to ensure that the agreement is ongoing, » the British Prime Minister emphasized.

Starmer has indicated that Britain will increase defensive consumption and will seek to convince the US president that Europe will provide support and security guarantees to Kiev if peace negotiations with Russia be successful.

On Thursday, Putin warned the « Western Elite » not to try to sabotage the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States, saying that Moscow would use his diplomacy and intelligence services to prevent such attempts. His comments seemed to be a concealed message to the European Union and Britain.

From the beginning of his second term, Trump warned of the launch of trade wars and promised to introduce customs – both enemies and allies.

« We want any economic relationship with the United Kingdom to be based on reciprocity and equal trade conditions, » said Trump's advisor.

In the oval office, Trump complained of trade relations with the European Union, from which Britain came out in 2020.

« Our store is fair and balanced, and you have an excess, so we're in a different position, » Starmer said. According to the US Government, the US has a trade excess in the goods exchanges with Britain.

Meanwhile, US V

« The United Kingdom has freedom of speech for a very, very long time, » the Starmer replied.

Like Macron, Starmer will seek to convince Trump to make a fast -paced peace agreement with Russia, without the participation of Ukraine or Europe, lead to a new instability on the continent, which would not be in the interest of the United States.

Starmer stated that he was open to sending British soldiers as security guarantees to Ukraine, but only with the participation of other European countries and « with appropriate conditions ».
