President Donald Trump holds a letter from King Charles III given to him by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a meeting in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington on Feb. 27, 2025. Starmer is on his first visit to Washington since President Trump returned to the White House. Starmer's trip comes shortly after he announced an increase in UK defense spending, ostensibly as a signal to Trump that the UK is prepared to bolster Europe's security, and as he aims to broker a fair peace deal for Ukraine amid Trump's warming relations with Russia.
