Trump has been working diligently to end the war in Ukraine, stating that the process is moving rapidly. He has also reached an agreement with Ukrainian President Zelenskiy to make the U.S. a partner in developing Ukraine’s resources, including minerals, rare earths, oil, and gas.

Trump emphasized the crucial role of NATO partners investing in defense, citing the Ukraine crisis as an example of its importance. He also expressed an urgent need for some countries to catch up in this area.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also expressed his commitment to resolving the Ukraine crisis. He asserted that the UK needs to secure peace in Ukraine and has discussed a tough and fair peace plan with President Trump. Starmer confirmed the UK’s readiness to deploy ground troops and aircraft to facilitate a peace deal in Ukraine.
