Starmer-Biden Talks Center on Countering Putin
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his team has prepared for their meeting with President Biden, discussing Ukraine and other pressing issues with British government staff in Ukraine and Russia.
At the White House, the two leaders exchanged warm words before a private 90-minute conversation, dominated by Ukraine but also covering the Middle East, China, and Iran.
Downing Street had sought to portray this meeting as an opportunity for a deeper conversation, despite President Biden’s limited time in office.
The urgency of the issues, particularly Ukraine, necessitated this discussion.
The UK has been advocating for Ukraine’s request to fire western missiles into Russia, but President Biden is skeptical, fearing direct conflict with Moscow.

Vladimir Putin’s recent sabre rattling has raised concerns about potential military attacks on NATO member states or lower-level aggression like cyber attacks.
The meeting aimed to address these dilemmas, but there was little expectation of a resolution.
The prime minister remained tight-lipped about whether he had persuaded the president to change his mind.
The conflict in Ukraine presents a recurring challenge for the West: how to defeat Russia without provoking Moscow.
The consequences of action and inaction weigh heavily, and this meeting was just one part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to navigate this complex situation.
