BIDEN and STARMER UNITE on Ukraine: Bold Strategy Talks at White House
— Labour leader Keir Starmer met with President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss strategy for Ukraine. They did not focus on specific capabilities.
Starmer had planned to press Biden on sending British Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine but will now address it at the UN General Assembly.
Biden dismissed Putin’s warnings about arming Ukraine, stating he doesn’t think much about Putin and believes Putin won’t win the war. However, Biden is hesitant to provide long-range ATACMS missiles due to limited impact and stock concerns.
The leaders also talked about Gaza, with Britain recently halting arms deliveries to Israel over potential violations of international humanitarian law.
