Trump, Ukraine propel EU and UK towards defence pact
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet EU leaders in London on May 19 to sign a security and defence partnership pact.

- British Foreign Minister David Lammy stated that the UK is collaborating closely with European partners to ensure a more secure, stable, and prosperous future for Europe.
- If approved by all 27 EU members, the pact could increase security talks and cooperation despite political divisions and uncertainty ahead of the May 19 summit.
