British Foreign Minister Cameron met with Trump in the United States, but the minister apparently failed to convince the ex-president to unblock aid to Ukraine.
“The British Foreign Secretary was not even allowed to meet with the Speaker of Congress Mike Johnson, who theoretically could put the [aid to Ukraine] package to a vote,” The Guardian reports.
Cameron had "hoped that Trump would signal a change of course, at least clearing his path to a meeting with Johnson", but this did not happen.
Cameron's arguments - both rational and emotional - appear to have run up against an ongoing power struggle within the Republican Party. Hardliners, who have cooled on continued financial support for Ukraine, are threatening to unseat Johnson if he puts the aid package to a vote when Congress returns from a two-week vacation,” the article says.
