Trump-Starmer call: PM should “seize the moment” and head to Munich conference

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the news Keir Starmer has held his first call with Donald Trump since the US President began talks over Ukraine with Putin, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Keir Starmer must be clear with Donald Trump that his proposals on Ukraine are unacceptable. 

“There is not a moment to lose. It is critical that the Prime Minister joins the gathering of global leaders taking place this weekend at the Munich Security Conference, and does all he can to bolster support for Ukraine. 

“Keir Starmer must seize the moment and ensure that Trump’s plans to lock Ukraine, the UK and European allies out of decisions about our shared future do not succeed.”
