President Joe Biden gave a blunt response when asked what he thought about Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Biden stated: “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin” as Sir Keir Starmer joined the US President for talks about the conflict in Ukraine. The pair sat in the Blue Room at the White House on Friday (13 September) as the Prime Minister spoke of how the UK and US are “strategically aligned” in their attempts to resolve the war. Sir Keir said the next weeks and months will be “crucial” in Ukraine and said it was “important” the two countries continued to support the eastern European nation in its fight against Russia.
