Monday, 24 February 2025 Sir Keir Starmer will this week go to Washington to try to help broker a just peace deal for Ukraine with a capricious president who in just a week has unwound a consensus that was born from the ashes of the Second World War and had endured for 70 years.
Sir Keir Starmer hails US President Donald Trump's commitment to security guarantees for Ukraine, calling it “really productive” as he described the movement toward a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

Fear grows in Washington D.C. as former President Donald Trump orders the National Guard to carry weapons in the nation’s capital. Nearly 2,000 troops have already been deployed, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorizing a major expansion of their role. Trump has vowed to take control of D.C. police, promising to “fix the city physically and legally,” while Mayor Muriel Bowser condemned the deployment as an “armed militia.” With crime actually at a 30-year low, critics call this an alarming escalation. Is Washington heading toward a military-style lockdown?
