Wednesday’s newspapers continue its coverage of the ongoing fallout between the US and Ukraine and the straining relationship between the US and its allies.

JD Vance is slammed across many of the newspapers due to his comments that Britain is some ‘random country that hasn’t fought in a war in 30 or 40 years’ – despite Britain having fought alongside America in their Middle Eastern oil wars. The tabloids call the American vice president a clown.

Elsewhere, the tabloids pull apart Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show, and there’s coverage of football pundit Jermaine Jenas’s announcement that his marriage has ended, following his cheating scandal.

Most of the back pages report on Arsenal’s 7-1 win over PSV in last night’s Champions League match. Fellow English club Aston Villa also won.

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.
