UK’s Cameron to meet Blinken, Trump while pressing US Congress on Ukraine aid

British Foreign Minister David Cameron will meet Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday during his U.S. trip and press lawmakers in Congress to pass an aid package for Ukraine while also discussing the Israel-Gaza war.
Ahead of his meeting with Blinken, Cameron will meet former President Donald Trump in Florida, a spokesperson for the British government’s Foreign Office said, describing it as a “standard practise” engagement with an opposition candidate.
Cameron last week said he would see Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and urge him to pass a $60 billion package of military aid for Ukraine, which he has held up for months.
“Success for Ukraine and failure for Putin are vital for American and European security,” Cameron said in a statement, saying it was important to demonstrate to Russian President Vladimir Putin that “aggression doesn’t pay.”
“The alternative would only encourage Putin in further attempts to re-draw European borders by force, and would be heard clearly in Beijing, Tehran and North Korea.”
