13:31Now PlayingJon Sopel, presenter of the News Agents podcast, does not think Keir Starmer will be ‘at ease with Trump’ when they begin talks in Washington on Thursday.
Mr Trump has said he would not provide security guarantees "beyond very much", insisting it was for Europeans to protect Ukraine.
Sopel warned that Trump ‘can change on a sixpence,’ and what may be agreed during Starmer’s meeting with the president could be reneged.
Emmanuel Macron has won plaudits for countering points made by Donald Trump during their press briefing in the Oval Office. Sopel said he doesn't think a ‘stiff’ Keir Starmer will be able to emulate that performance.
Sir Keir is prepared to commit British troops to a peacekeeping mission but believes that US promises are vital to "deter Putin from coming again".
The visit comes days after announcing Britain would finally hike defence spending to 2.5 per cent by 2027.
