Keir Starmer Delivers King Charles' Invitation to Trump in Washington Visit

The British Prime Minister's gesture fosters dialogue on Ukraine aid, NATO commitments, and future UK-US relations.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer presented US President Donald Trump with a personal invitation from King Charles III for a second state visit to the UK.
Trump, previously critical of Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, softened his stance during the meeting, expressing 'great respect' for him and affirming NATO support.
Discussions included a new agreement for the US to share in Ukraine's rare earth mineral production, though security guarantees for Ukraine remain unresolved.
Trump signaled openness to protecting British troops potentially stationed in Ukraine for peacekeeping and hinted at a future UK-US trade deal.
Starmer's visit underscored Britain's role as a mediator between the Trump administration and Europe, with emphasis on continued support for Ukraine.
