Trump says Putin is "not looking to attack Nato territory"

Downing Street said Prime Minister Andy Burnham and President Donald Trump spoke on Monday and agreed that efforts toward a Ukraine ceasefire should continue so more lives would not be lost. The call came after U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner talked in Kyiv following their reported meeting in Moscow with Vladimir Putin. Burnham reaffirmed British support for Ukraine and U.S.-led peace efforts. The leaders also discussed the Middle East; Burnham stressed a two-state solution, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The president was asked about the discovery of an explosives-laden drone at Leipzig airport, a hub for Ukraine support. Britain and allies blamed Russia, which denied involvement, and Britain summoned a Russian diplomat. Trump said Putin was not aiming for military confrontation with NATO.
