Sir Keir Starmer in Washington DC for Talks on Ukraine and Gaza

Sir Keir Starmer's Arrival in Washington DC

Sir Keir Starmer has landed in Washington DC for crucial discussions with US President Joe Biden regarding the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. The Prime Minister is set to meet with President Biden at the White House to address the possibility of granting Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles in Russia.

Russia's Threat of World War Three

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a warning of World War Three if the West allows Ukraine to deploy British-made missiles. Despite the threat, Sir Keir Starmer emphasized Ukraine's right to self-defense, pointing out that Russia initiated the conflict by illegally invading Ukraine.

International Response and Support for Ukraine

Efforts to support Ukraine in the ongoing conflict have been significant, with over £600 million in aid approved by Foreign Minister David Lammy and a pledge of $700 million (£534 million) from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The decision on whether to lift restrictions on long-range missiles remains pending, with implications for the conflict's direction.
