The UK is positioning itself as a bridge between Europe and the US ahead of critical diplomatic efforts concerning Ukraine's future. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds emphasized the UK's role in encouraging US cooperation on NATO membership for Ukraine while highlighting the importance of European nations increasing defense contributions. Despite recent tensions and differing perspectives, Reynolds believes there remains substantial common ground. As European leaders convene to address US proposals, Reynolds acknowledged potential pathways for Ukraine's NATO ambitions, despite internal disagreements within US leadership.
Reynolds stated, "I believe we in the UK can play a part, as that bridge between the US and Europe as we adjust to this new era."
The US has a reasonable point about European nations contributing more in defense spending, which Reynolds acknowledges while emphasizing the need for unity.
