British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed support for President Donald Trump’s pursuit of an agreement on Ukrainian mineral rights to repay some of the $500 billion in military aid that the U.S. has given to Ukraine in support of its war against Russia. Starmer believes that economic ties between the U.S. and Ukraine could enhance security, and he acknowledges the importance of mineral rights in this regard.
Trump has been vocal about settling the conflict in Ukraine and has hinted at compensation for the aid provided by the U.S. He has hesitated to commit to security guarantees, suggesting that Europe should take the lead in this area. Starmer and Trump discussed the Ukraine conflict, with Starmer committing to sending British troops to Ukraine if a peace deal with Russia is achieved.
During a joint news conference, Starmer emphasized the need to quash Russian ambitions and prevent future incursions into Ukrainian territory. Trump praised Starmer, calling him a “special man,” and expressed optimism about their relationship. The meeting between the two leaders occurred before Trump’s scheduled meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, with hopes of signing an agreement on rare mineral rights. The discussions surrounding Ukrainian mineral rights and economic ties demonstrate the strategic importance of Ukraine in the global context of security and peace efforts.
