UK’s Starmer Seeks Italy’s Support for Missiles to Ukraine and sending people to refugee camps in Albania

Starmer’s visit to Rome comes days after he met with US President Joe Biden in Washington. 

They discussed whether to let Ukraine conduct long-range strikes in Russia with the Storm Shadow missiles guided by US navigational data, though Biden has so far resisted such a move out of concern it could escalate the war.

He and Meloni are also due to discuss plans to tackle illegal migration, with Starmer keen to show progress on his election pledge to cut the number of people entering Britain via vessels crossing the English Channel.

Starmer has appointed a new border security commander and has said he is “interested” in how Italy has reduced migration, in part by sending people to refugee camps in Albania.
