Will Starmer call Putin’s bluff?

10 min listen

In This Episode

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are in the Washington for a planned foreign policy summit with Joe Biden. They will principally be talking about a new deal regarding the use of UK long range missiles in Russia, a move which Putin has warned would constitute an escalation of the war and the formalisation of NATO’s involvement.

Also up for discussion is support for Israel after the foreign secretary announced a partial embargo on arms. Is the UK diverging from the US on foreign policy?

James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Keir Giles, fellow at Chatham House and author of Who Will Defend Europe?

Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
