Sunday’s front pages are dominated by pictures of PM Sir Keir Starmer warmly embarrassing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after his spicy exchanges with Donald Trump at the White House a day before. 

The newspapers are united in their support for the prime minister’s calmer approach – than what had been on display from Donald Trump, with several papers (including Trump-supporting papers) suggesting the American President’s state visit should be called off.

PM Sir Keir Starmer’s meeting with Donald Trump dominates much of the UK’s news this Friday. The British Prime Minister met with the US president in what much of the media is dubbing a ‘White House summit’. To almost everyone’s surprise, the meeting appeared to go well, with a UK-US trade deal expected soon, the president backing the prime minister’s Chagos deal, and the president effectively ruling out a US backstop for Ukraine.

Most of Thursday’s front pages lead on the prime minister’s upcoming trip to Washington where he is set to double down on his declaration that negotiations over Ukraine should involve Ukraine. He will also tell the president of the US that Russia will strike Ukraine again unless the US provides ongoing security support.

The back pages are dominated by last night’s Premier League action as Liverpool go 13 points clear at the top of the table, Manchester United fought back to beat Ipswich, Manchester City beat Spurs 1-0 and Arsenal’s stalemate seems them at risk of slipping out the top four. The Lionesses beat Spain 1-0 at Wembley in last night’s Nations League.
