Starmer's turn: What can old allies do to convince Trump on Ukraine?

Whispering in Trump’s ear is not an easy task – just ask Emmanuel Macron. Despite Monday’s bruffers on Monday, the flattery and light reproaches, the United States has always stood on the side of Russia and North Korea in Ukraine at the UN. Maybe a meeting was not enough. Now, it’s Keir Starmer’s turn, and his work could be even more difficult. Trump prefers presidents and kings, and Great Britain post-Brexit is in a closer financial obligation than even France Happy-Happy. In a sign of the time, the Prime Minister proposed to finance an increase in defense expenses by reducing international aid. Starmer adopts a sober approach, stressing that an American security net remains crucial for European defense. But do the citizens on each side of the chain have the appetite to pay more for security against Trump and Putin? And how is the next visitor to the oval office? It would be Volodymyr Zelenskiy, that the United States said to sign on the dotted line for a mineral agreement with Washington on Friday. In exchange for what, exactly? This part remains clear.
