President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at the White House to discuss various global issues, with a primary focus on Ukraine's request to use Western-supplied long-range missiles against Russia. While Biden expressed strong support for Ukraine, he remains cautious about escalating the conflict with Moscow, delaying any decision on the missile issue until further discussions at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. Both leaders highlighted the importance of a united front in supporting Ukraine but acknowledged the potential risks of provoking a direct confrontation with Russia. Additionally, they discussed the Middle East, China, and Iran, with Biden downplaying threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin about Western involvement in Ukraine. The meeting underscored the ongoing complexities in balancing military support for Ukraine with the broader implications for international security.
