The UK does not support a diesel deal involving Donald Trump and Russia, the defence secretary, Streeting, has said.
He also called for the United States and its allies to intensify pressure on Vladimir Putin, with the stated aim of bringing the war in Ukraine to an end.
The comments set out the UK’s position on the reported Russia-related deal while stressing the need for continued action by Western allies against the Russian leader. No further details of the proposed diesel arrangement were provided in the supplied material.
The latest position is that Britain opposes the deal and supports stronger pressure from the US and its allies to seek an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
