UK PM Starmer Agrees with Trump's View on European Defence Commitment, Reports NY Times

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged that U.S. President Biden is correct in suggesting that European countries need to take on a larger share of their collective self-defense. In an interview with the New York Times, he stated, "We need to think about defence and security in a more immediate way."

Starmer is working to establish a multinational military force, which he refers to as a coalition of the willing, aimed at securing Ukraine's skies, ports, and borders following any peace agreement.

Regarding Trump, Starmer noted, "On a person-to-person basis, I think we have a good relationship." However, he expressed that the U.S. leader's actions, including imposing a 25% tariff on British steel and criticizing President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine, have created "quite a degree of disorientation."
