Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney has raised serious concerns about the potential re-election of Donald Trump, warning that it could severely undermine support for Ukraine and destabilise global security.
Speaking at a high-profile event, Carney emphasised that a second Trump presidency would likely embolden Russia and weaken international alliances, particularly NATO. "The stakes couldn't be higher," he stated, urging Western leaders to prepare for this political contingency.
Starmer and Zelensky's Diplomatic Push
Meanwhile, Labour leader Keir Starmer met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reaffirm Britain's commitment to Ukraine's defence against Russian aggression. The meeting came as Zelensky continues his diplomatic tour to secure long-term military support ahead of potential political shifts in key allied nations.
Carney's intervention adds weight to growing concerns among Western policymakers about the geopolitical ramifications of November's US election. His remarks highlight the delicate balance between democratic processes and international stability in an increasingly volatile world.
