Boris Johnson has met Donald Trump to discuss the situation in Ukraine “at length”.<\/p>\n

Mr Johnson became the latest former British prime minister to head to the US for the Republican National Convention this week, after Liz Truss arrived in Milwaukee on Monday<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The ex-Tory leader posted a picture of the pair on X and released a statement, saying Trump had been “on superb form following the appalling attempt on his life”.<\/p>\n

He added: “I noted the courage, resilience and sheer indomitability with which he has responded.”<\/p>\n

But the main focus on the discussion was the war in Ukraine – something central to Mr Johnson’s premiership as he built support from international partners for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n

After the announcement of Trump’s running mate for the election last night – 39-year-old Ohio senator JD Vance – fears grew further that if he wins November’s election, funding for the war effort against Russia could be under threat<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But in his statement, the former prime minister said: “We discussed Ukraine at length and I know that he will give the strong and decisive leadership necessary to protect democracy against aggression.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
