Trump tells JD Vance to find a way out of Iran war as vice president prepares to fly to

Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed the UK must rejoin the EU if the US leaves NATO.

Trump, a fierce critic of the defence bloc, has been left unimpressed by fellow members and their refusal to get involved in his war with Iran.

He has reportedly threatened to pull away from it if the pact does not support his Middle East war.

The Ukrainian leader said that in order to bolster Europe’s defence against Russia, the UK ought to reset relations with the continent.

Zelensky said: ‘If the United States truly thinks about withdrawing from NATO, then European security will be based solely on the European Union.

But not in its current form. I think that the EU is in a situation where it needs more countries. The UK, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Norway

‘These are four strong countries, which are part of Europe. Together, the UK, Ukraine, and Türkiye have armies that are stronger than Russia’s army. Without Ukraine and Türkiye, Europe can’t match Russia.

‘With the four countries on board you can wrest control of the seas, have secure skies and the largest land forces.’
