Former British Prime Minister David Cameron told the United States that it would be “hugely beneficial” to pump more money into Ukraine, and said he hoped to meet with lawmakers who needed persuasion during a trip to Washington.
For Ukraine, “there may be nothing more important than the supplementary matters that Parliament is considering at the moment,” he said, citing his defeat in the Brexit referendum. Former Prime Minister David Cameron, who is returning to government, spoke about Ukraine. Tuesday.
Now, after being elevated to the House of Lords, where Lord Cameron is primarily appointed in the UK, Lord Cameron says he has no intention of “telling” Americans how to spend their money and at the same time seeks US taxpayers’ money on behalf of Ukraine. I tried to claim that I meant it.
The comments came after a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former President Trump. Cameron did not say what he discussed with Trump on Tuesday morning, but the British Foreign Office said Ukraine and NATO were mentioned.
Prime Minister David Cameron rejected criticism of his meeting with Trump, insisting it was perfectly normal for British ministers to meet privately with presidential candidates in the run-up to the election.

On the subject of urging the US to pass more spending on Ukraine, Lord Cameron asked the US for more aid in February when he was asked to “kiss it” by MP Marjorie Taylor Greene. He seemed intent on avoiding the mistakes of the past. For his pain.
Prime Minister David Cameron predicted such a rebuke today, saying alongside Prime Minister Blinken: I just came here as a great friend and believer of this country, and I know it’s in your interest, your safety, your future, and the future of all your partners to release and pass this money. Because I believe that it is deeply connected to ”
Prime Minister Cameron praised Ukraine’s fighting spirit and morale and pitched to the US Congress that continuing to support Kiev was great value for money for US taxpayers. he said: “They sank 25 percent of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and inflicted over 350,000 casualties on the Russian military… I think it’s absolutely for the security of the United States that President Putin fails in his illegal invasion… I It’s very valuable to the United States and other countries, probably 5 or 10 percent of the defense budget, almost half of Russia’s pre-war military equipment was destroyed, but it cost a single American life. He claims that he was able to avoid any loss. This is an investment in America’s security. ”
Prime Minister Cameron also said that supplying Ukraine with US-made defense systems would be good for US jobs and that continuing to support the country would encourage the West to stand up to the powers that be in “Tehran, Pyongyang and Beijing.” He claimed to be sending a message. against invaded countries, even if they are not NATO members like Ukraine.
Prime Minister Cameron made it clear that he was in Washington to really change minds, saying, “If there is someone in Congress who would welcome dialogue, I will make time for it” regarding the Ukraine funding issue.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Blinken praised Britain for being an early leader in arming Ukraine, and said in a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron that he would “continue to support and assist Ukraine in defending it from the ongoing Russian aggression.” We reaffirmed that this is essential.” We are asking Ukraine for help with additional munitions, air defense, artillery, and we heard last week from the Ukrainian Foreign Minister of NATO about the immediate needs. ”
The United States needs to “continue to play a role” for Ukraine, he said.
In addition to Lord Cameron being invited to kiss Taylor Green’s butt for telling Parliament how to act, there was also a historic warning that the UK and US would openly interfere in each other’s internal affairs. There is precedent.
One such example, which Prime Minister David Cameron should bear in mind more than anyone else, is when then-President Barack Obama dared to leave the European Union weeks before the 2016 Brexit referendum. It was when he warned the British people that they would be punished by the United States if they voted to leave the Union. .
Although this intervention was very unsuccessful, it was seen at the time as a boon for the Leavers. Brexit leader Nigel Farage said years later that Prime Minister Cameron and President Obama had “conspired” to derail Brexit through US intervention, and was delighted that it had backfired on them. expressed their views and reflected their views. Point out: “Thank you, President Obama. We probably wouldn’t have succeeded without you.”
