Vice President JD Vance has seemingly taken a swipe at the UK after commenting on Keir Starmer's 'coalition of the willing' proposal.

Sitting down with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Vance explained that the heated discussions between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at The White House on Friday (28 February) 'really set Zelenskyy off'.

"He showed a clear unwillingness to engage in the peace process that President Trump said is the policy," he said.

"That's the real breakdown. I think Zelenskyy wasn't yet there. And frankly, still isn't there. But I think he'll get there eventually, he has to."

Seemingly taking aim at the UK, Vance also spoke about the UK's 'coalition of the willing' proposal which would see troops from the UK and France acting as peacekeepers in the event of a ceasefire.

After the summit of European leaders on Sunday (2 March) Keir Starmer said a handful of countries - specifically Britain and France - were ready to form a 'coalition of the willing' to keep the peace.

"If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine. That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troop from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years," said Vance.

"The only guy in town with a strategy is the President of the United States, and everybody needs to follow his lead."

Tyla has reached out to The White House for comment.

Days on from the disastrous meeting in the Oval Office and the Trump administration has paused all aid to Ukraine.

According to Fox News, this includes weapons in Poland or in transit until Zelenskyy demonstrates a commitment to peace.

"President Trump has been clear that he is focused on peace," a White House official told Fox News. "We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution."

"This is not permanent termination of aid, it's a pause," said another official. "The orders are going out right now."

The US is overwhelmingly the biggest donor of aid to Ukraine, and - according to the Kiel Institute - has given $69 billion (£54.6 billion) in military aid to the country between the start of 2022 and the end of 2024.
