 The newly elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made his maiden appearance on the international stage Wednesday with a strong signal of support for Ukraine and a pat on the back from President Joe Biden as they met on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Washington. After a full day of meetings interrupted briefly to watch part of a soccer match in which England triumphed over the Netherlands, Starmer met Biden at the White House. Well, welcome. We had a long conversation on the phone when you won. Give me your hand there, pal.
