Daily Mail: Trump ignored Starmer
The British Prime Minister Kerry Starmer and his efforts to extend US aid to Ukraine were ignored by the US president.
Following the halt to US military aid to Ukraine, media sources announced the failed attempt by European authorities to dissuade US President Donald Trump.
“Last night (Monday), before the White House’s decision to cut off aid to Ukraine, Starmer contacted Trump,” said Starmer on Tuesday evening. But Trump ignored him. “
British News agency Reuters quoted a White House official as saying Monday that Trump has stopped military assistance to Ukraine after clashing with Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelkski in recent days. This moves the gap between these former allies deeper.
The move came after Trump has transformed US policy towards Ukraine and Russia since his presidency in January, taking a more reconciliation approach to Moscow. The developments are also criticized after a fierce clash at the White House on Friday, in which Trump criticized Zelnski for his support for Washington’s support in the war with Russia.
“President Trump has clearly stated that he is focusing on peace,” the official told Reuters on Monday. We also expect our partners to be committed to this goal. “We stop and review the aid to make sure they are effective in finding a solution.”
The White House did not comment on the extent and range of aid affected by this decision or period of time. The Pentagon did not provide further details. The Zelksky office and the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington also did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
On Monday, Trump once again emphasized that Zleansky should be appreciated by US support. He had earlier responded angrily, according to the Associated Press, where Zelksky had said the end of the war was “very, far away”.
