UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Calls for Greater European Defence Contribution

London, March 23 – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has acknowledged U.S. President Donald Trump’s stance that European nations should take on a larger share of their collective self-defence responsibilities. In an interview with the New York Times, Starmer emphasized the need for a more immediate approach to defence and security.
Starmer is working to establish a multinational military force, which he refers to as a “coalition of the willing,” aimed at securing Ukraine’s skies, ports, and borders following any potential peace settlement. The initiative reflects his commitment to addressing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and ensuring regional stability.
Regarding his relationship with President Trump, Starmer remarked, “On a person-to-person basis, I think we have a good relationship.” However, he noted that Trump’s actions, including imposing a 25% tariff on British steel and his treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, have caused “quite a degree of disorientation.”
Starmer’s comments highlight the challenges of navigating transatlantic relations while addressing pressing global security concerns. His efforts to rally European nations for a stronger defence role underscore the evolving dynamics of international cooperation in the face of geopolitical tensions.
