Overview

• Trump and Starmer announced a US–UK technology cooperation deal with roughly £250 billion in reciprocal investment, with leaders casting the alliance as unique and reinforced.
• The agreement targets advanced sectors including artificial intelligence and nuclear energy, with both sides emphasizing closer economic, security and science ties.
• Trump said Putin has “really disappointed” him and argued that cutting Russian oil revenues is the key lever, urging European countries to stop buying Moscow’s energy.
• The president warned against risking a “third world war,” defended his Alaska meeting with Putin, and signaled reluctance to toughen measures before Europe curbs purchases.
• Starmer reaffirmed plans to seek UN recognition of a Palestinian state unless conditions are met, which Trump opposed, as Putin claimed about 700,000 Russian troops are at the Ukrainian front.
