U.S. President Donald Trump holds a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on February 27, 2025. Starmer is meeting Trump to plead for a U.S. backstop to any Ukraine ceasefire, insisting it would be the only way to stop Russia's Vladimir Putin from invading again. Starmer arrived in Washington late Wednesday to build on a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, amid growing concerns in Europe that the U.S. leader is about to sell Kyiv short in negotiations with Putin.
