The leaders of France and Britain are both due to meet with President Trump this week. Approaches previously tried with him may no longer work.

Sir Keir Starmer hopes his discussions with Donald Trump this week will pave the way for "a negotiated peace settlement in Ukraine", the Security Minister has said. Dan Jarvis said the meeting between the Prime Minister and US President in Washington will be a “good opportunity” to discuss further pressure the nations can put on Russia to end the war three years on from Moscow’s invasion.

French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will visit Washington next week, amid other meetings aimed at bringing an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, U.S. national security advisor Mike Waltz said on Wednesday.
