Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to US president-elect Donald Trump and “reiterated the need for allies to stand together with Ukraine,” Downing Street has said. “Turning to global conflicts, the Prime Minister reiterated the need for allies to stand together with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression and to ensure Ukraine is in the strongest possible position. In a post on his Truth Social site, Mr Trump wrote: “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity.” It comes as The Daily Telegraph reported that Sir Keir’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney has held talks with Mr Trump’s team. Earlier this week, Sir Keir said that it would be a “big mistake” if Ukraine’s allies did not continue to give it the “strongest” support.
