During a press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, US President Donald Trump appeared unfamiliar with the AUKUS security pact, asking, 'What does that mean?' The moment raised eyebrows, as AUKUS is a key trilateral defense agreement between the US, UK, and Australia.

The meeting touched on broader geopolitical issues, including security in Eastern Europe.
