“We all know that it was … sick-making to watch Putin being welcomed to America like that. We all know that.” In more positive comments towards the U.S. administration, Johnson said Trump had “actually continued to let the weapons go to Ukraine, which is the most important thing.” Trump hosted the Russian leader in Alaska last month for a summit on how to resolve the war in Ukraine, with Putin greeted by a military flyover and a red carpet.

LONDON — U.K. Chancellor Rachel Reeves will hold her second budget on November 26, the government confirmed Wednesday. Her latest tweaks to the public finances will come alongside new economic forecasts from independent watchdogs, which are expected to paint a difficult picture for the country’s top finance minister. Growth in Britain — a central ambition of the government — has long been sluggish, while the cost of government borrowing has been climbing. A stagnant economy, a self-imposed cap on borrowing for day-to-day public spending, and a manifesto pledge not raise Britain’s three main taxes mean Reeves’ room for maneuver is…
