    Biden and Starmer discuss broad military strategies worldwide

    Starmer said supplying Ukraine with heavier weapons was only reviewed in a “broad” way

    US President Joseph Biden and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met Friday at the White House to discuss the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine among other issues. Had it been approved, it would have upped tensions with Moscow and could have triggered an all-out war between Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Hence, a decision on this matter was postponed.
