What happened

European countries must respond collectively to pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated while speaking at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan.

Why it matters

"We cannot deny that some of the alliances that we have come to rely on are not in the place we would want them to be.

Common ground

There is more tension in the alliances than there should be and it's very important that we therefore face up to this as a group of countries together," the head of the British government emphasized as quoted by The Guardian.

Claim 2: “British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated while speaking at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan that European countries must respond collectively to pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump”
DISPUTED
The claim states Keir Starmer spoke at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan. However, Wikipedia evidence explicitly states that the 4th European Political Community Summit was held on 18 July 2024 at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, United Kingdom, not Yerevan. Additionally, the provided web search results for this claim are completely irrelevant (discussing teacher unions in Rajasthan, India), providing no support for the event described.
