Former Labour leader Lord Kinnock has warned Sir Keir Starmer not to fawn over the ‘raging narcissists’ running the US government at his high-stakes meeting in Washington today. The Prime Minister is due to arrive at the White House just after midday local time (5pm UK time) as he tries to convince President Donald Trump to guarantee a security ‘backstop’ from the US as part of any peace deal for Ukraine. In recent weeks, Sir Keir and other government figures have strained to avoid excessive criticism or disagreement with the US administration that could put an agreement at risk. 👉 https://trib.al/mh8xBWp

Sir Keir Starmer has denied that Donald Trump is dictating UK foreign policy after announcing a huge boost in defence spending. He said he had been ‘arguing for some time’ that Europe and the UK ‘needed to do more’ for collective defence and security in order to stand up to ‘tyrants’ like Vladimir Putin. 👉 https://trib.al/F1tzTuj

Sir Keir Starmer has announced plans to hike defence spending by £13,400,000,000 from 2027. This would partially be paid for by a cut in international development spending from 0.5 per cent of gross national income to 0.3 per cent. 👉 https://trib.al/Z93EFpC

Next week, Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump will sit down together for only the second time. Past meetings between British PMs and US presidents usually focus on reaffirming the so-called ‘special relationship’ and discussing economic ties. But Starmer has a very different job to do this time, in very different times with a very different kind of leader. 👉 https://trib.al/14JBInp

Sir Keir Starmer will present Donald Trump with a Ukraine peacekeeping plan when the two leaders meet next week following the president’s blistering attack on Volodymyr Zelensky. He is expected to propose sending European forces to Ukrainian cities, ports and critical infrastructure sites to secure the peace following any ceasefire deal brokered by the US. The proposed deployment will reportedly number fewer than 30,000 troops – far less than the 200,000 requested by Zelensky in the event of a truce. 👉 https://trib.al/W61WTmF
