UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has arrived in the US for talks with President Joe Biden on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Starmer is set to meet Biden at the White House on Friday, with discussions expected to focus on Ukraine's request to use Western-supplied long-range missiles against Russian targets. Although Ukraine has urged the West to lift restrictions on its weaponry, concerns over escalation have delayed approval. The visit comes ahead of the US presidential election and follows Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s trip to Kyiv with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Key decisions on military aid are still pending.
