UK prime minister faces major diplomatic effort to get president on board after he said no plans for US ‘backstop’

With the future of Ukrainian security hanging in the balance, he urged the president to commit a US backstop to a British and French-led peacekeeping force, saying it was the only way to avoid Russia plunging Europe back into war.
