"There's a huge amount of work to do we won't be one of the signatories today, because this is about a legal treaty that raises much broader issues, and we do also have concerns about President Putin being part of something which is talking about peace, when we have still not seen any signs from Putin that there will be a commitment to peace in Ukraine."
Trump shifted from talk of invading or buying Greenland to framing a narrower deal as a negotiating victory. The shift ended a four-day crisis that preoccupied Westminster and disrupted planned No 10 cost-of-living announcements. Keir Starmer will seek attention for the warm homes plan but will face questions about US actions.

Government responses reflect heightened caution toward the US.
