RAISE 2020 - TTTTTrump to meet UK prime minister at White House for critical talks on Ukraine
In recent weeks, Trump has assured House and Senate Republicans he intends to open up his massive stockpile of campaign reserves – which he has boasted is north of half a billion dollars – to defend the party’s slim majorities in both chambers next year, a White House official with knowledge of the conversations told CNN. But even as he pledges financial support, Trump has not ruled out intervening in primaries to bolster challengers against Republican officeholders he perceives as insufficiently loyal. “Will (Trump’s money) be for primaries or generals? That’ll be up for them to decide,” the official teased, referring to potentially rebellious incumbents. Trump’s team and congressional Republicans have discussed recruitment efforts, particularly in the House, where the GOP’s narrow majority is already presenting governing challenges and will be difficult to maintain.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at the White House on Thursday for their first in-person talks since the Republican leader upended U.S. policy on Ukraine, the Middle East and global trade.
Starmer is the second European leader to meet Trump this week after French President Emmanuel Macron came to the White House on Monday for a friendly encounter that nonetheless displayed stark differences about Russia's war with Ukraine and the U.S. push for a quick ceasefire.
The British leader arrived at the White House on Thursday afternoon, where he was greeted by the president at the West Wing entrance ahead of meetings and a news conference. Asked if the U.S. could get a Ukraine peace deal, Trump said, "Yes, we can. We will."
Trump, who came into office on January 20, has shocked traditional U.S. allies in Europe by drawing closer to Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a "dictator," and demanding payback for U.S. financial support for Kyiv.
