British Foreign Secretary David Cameron held a meeting in Florida with Donald Trump, with whom he has clashed in the past over Brexit and NATO, as the U.K. tries to persuade the presidential candidate¡¯s Republican allies to stop obstructing a commitment to send more U.S. aid to Ukraine.

Their talks late Monday came ahead of Cameron¡¯s trip to Washington to meet Republican lawmakers as well as officials from the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden.

The visit comes at a sensitive time as the U.K., France and other nations try to keep the international focus on Ukraine¡¯s battle to repel Russia¡¯s invasion.
