President Trump welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the White House on Thursday.
President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Prime Minister Keir Starmer met in the Oval Office to discuss a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine and the future of NATO.
