The White House has reiterated that there is no change in the US policy regarding the provision of long-range strike capabilities to Ukraine. This stance aligns with earlier reports from British media, including ITV, and statements from the White House, indicating that no new policy announcements are expected on this matter. John Kirby also stated that no public statements are expected following the Biden-Starmer meeting.
