Our political editor, chris mason, has sent this report from the white house. I think the next few weeks and months could be crucial. What does President Biden make of russias threats against the west . I dont think much about that. This is the Blue Room of the white house, the president , the Prime Minister and their team spoke here for about an hour and a half. The war in ukraine dominated the conversation. Afterwards, Sir Keir Starmer wouldnt be drawn on whether he had persuaded the president That Authorising Ukraine To Fire Western Missiles at russia was a good idea. Instead, he said.
