# UK prime minister Keir Starmer makes a high-stakes visit to the White House tomorrow to try to convince US president Donald Trump to provide security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any ceasefire agreement with Russia. He will seek to build on French president Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington on Monday, when he warned that peace cannot mean the surrender of Ukraine. Starmer will have to stick up for Kyiv without annoying Trump, who has stunned Europe by pursuing talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
