Davey: PM must challenge Trump's "lies over Ukraine" in Washington

EMBARGO: 22.30 Wed 26 February

Commenting ahead of Keir Starmer’s meeting with Donald Trump at the White House today, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“It's clear that the way to deal with Trump is from a position of strength, not weakness. 

"So the Prime Minister should show Britain’s strength by challenging Donald Trump’s lies over Ukraine today.

“Millions of people have been shocked to see the US President parroting Putin’s propaganda and prioritising America’s enemies over its friends. Keir Starmer must make clear today that if Donald Trump continues down this path, it will have consequences."
