UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron are set to meet at the Armistice Day service in Paris to discuss persuading US President Joe Biden to authorize Ukraine to launch deep strikes into Russian territory using Storm Shadow missiles before Donald Trump's inauguration. This initiative aims to disrupt Trump's anticipated efforts to reduce US support for Ukraine following his recent election victory. Starmer congratulated Trump on his election win, with Trump reportedly telling Starmer, 'You have a friend in me.'
