U.K. Prime Minister Fact Checks Trump to His Face
www.thedailybeast.com
Keir Starmer arrived in the U.S. ready to talk about financing Ukraine’s security—a responsibility that Trump has balked at in recent weeks.

Summary

UK Prime Minister Keith Starmer fact-checked Trump during their White House meeting Thursday.

Starmer corrected Trump’s claims about US-UK trade, noting it was “fair and balanced” with the US having “a little bit of a surplus.”

He also refuted Trump’s statement about Ukraine aid repayment, clarifying the UK “gifted” funds.

When Trump suggested US involvement might be unnecessary for Ukraine peace, Starmer emphasized America’s role was “very much needed.”

Starmer also defended UK free speech after JD Vance claimed it was “in retreat.”

    Good. Trump wants to act like a clown? Treat him like one. Respect is earned.
