Lord David Cameron is heading to Washington for a flurry of meetings with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders in an effort to try and help unblock US funding for Ukraine.
The UK foreign secretary, who will also hold talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, will call on Congress to approve the extra $60bn in supplementary funding for Kyiv that has been blocked by Republicans in the House of Representatives.
“Success for Ukraine and failure for Putin are vital for American and European security,” Cameron said ahead of the trip, which will also focus on the Middle East and the UK’s plan to continue licensing arms exports to Israel.
