KEIR Starmer and Donald Trump will go head-to-head today for the first time as the PM tries to rally support for Ukraine.
The Labour leader has crossed the Atlantic as the world awaits to see if the US will pull the plug on their support for Kyiv.
Trump has upended US policy on the Ukraine war – branding Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator” and bringing Russia in from the cold.
The US has been accused of excluding Ukraine and Europe from talks – with Trump’s team meeting with Vladimir Putin’s officials in Saudi Arabia.
Starmer will attempt to shore up US support as Europe faces the possibility of standing alone against Russia.
The PM will be the sixth leader to visit the White House since Trump became President.
He will argue that both Kyiv and Europe must have seats at the negotiating table in any effort to end Putin’s three-year war in Ukraine.
