US Vice President JD Vance was firmly put in his place by British Prime Minister Kier Starmer when the VP was discussing the topic "free speech" in England and the US

Keir Starmer has defended free speech in the UK after JD Vance doubled down on claims that the Human Rights Act had been “infringed” upon. In the Oval Office on Thursday (27 February), the British Prime Minister addressed the Vice President after he claimed that “infringements of free speech” were affecting American companies and citizens.

Keir Starmer warns Putin will 'go again' in Ukraine without proper deterrent after Trump talks - The US President has resisted calls to fully commit American troops to peacekeeping efforts in Ukraine

The prime minister wants to keep everyone happy. He has been loath to criticize Trump, has warmed up Britain’s post-Brexit partnership with the European Union, avowedly backed Kyiv and thawed ties with China. At a time of geopolitical upheaval, he is attempting to squeeze Britain into an impossibly tight Venn diagram.

Starmer's sought a U.S. commitment to “backstop” European peacekeeping in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia, which Trump avoided.
