The prime minister will hold his first face-to-face talks with the unpredictable president since he re-entered the White House.

The US President told media that Ukraine’s Nato bid “was not going to happen” during a visit to Washington by the UK Prime Minister.

During a meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Trump accepted an invitation from Britain's King Charles to visit that country.

Keir Starmer faces "serious questions" about his defence spending calculations a day before he meets Donald Trump in Washington. Speaking before Parliament on Tuesday, the PM announced that the UK Government will increase defence spending to 2.

Sir Keir Starmer has announced the UK will aim to spend 2.5 per cent of GDP on defence every year from 2027 and 3 per cent in the next parliament. In a House of Commons statement this afternoon, the Prime Minister said the figure would mean a £13.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer flew to Washington on Wednesday after announcing a big increase in the British defense budget, an investment that he hopes will help persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to maintain support for Ukraine as Washington pushes to end the war.
