UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will urge European leaders to confront the “brutal reality” and increase defense spending to prevent cracks in the trans-Atlantic alliance over Ukraine. Speaking at a European security summit in London, he will address longtime U.S. allies, emphasizing unity amid tensions.
His plea follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s fallout with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy. On Saturday, Starmer met Zelenskiy at 10 Downing Street, signaling support as Ukraine faces U.S. pressure over cease-fire talks with Russia. The summit presents a critical opportunity for Starmer to navigate ongoing diplomatic challenges.
