British Foreign Secretary David Cameron reportedly discussed a potential peace deal between Ukraine and Russia with former President Donald Trump, according to a source who spoke to The Sunday Times. Cameron met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last month. The source said that Cameron told Trump that new U.S. aid would help Ukraine hold its front lines and give Trump the “best possible conditions” to attempt to secure an agreement with Russia. The source also said that Cameron asked Trump: “What are the best conditions in which you as president can make a deal in January? It’s both sides holding their lines and paying a price for that.”The United Kingdom’s position is that a peace agreement would be a Ukrainian matter, and Cameron has said publicly that “peace comes through strength, not through appeasement and weakness.” UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Britain’s “position has not changed” and that “Putin must fail.” Sunak was asked about the report on Monday afternoon, and he said: “I’ve seen some anonymous source briefing. We do not recognize those reports.”The meeting between Cameron and Trump contradicts the United Kingdom’s position that a peace agreement would be a Ukrainian matter. It also raises questions about Trump’s commitment to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Trump has repeatedly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and has called for the United States to withdraw from NATO.The meeting between Cameron and Trump took place last month, just days before the United States announced that it would provide Ukraine with an additional $60 billion in military aid. The aid package is intended to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia’s ongoing invasion.The meeting between Cameron and Trump has been met with criticism from some members of the British government. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the meeting was “a mistake” and that it “undermines the UK’s position on Ukraine.”The meeting between Cameron and Trump is a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of international relations. It also highlights the challenges that the United States and its allies face in dealing with Russia.
