UK media on November 24 focused extensively on the US-Ukraine peace talks. Early reports highlighted 'tremendous progress,' despite negotiators indicating a need for more time to finalize a deal that would require Russia's agreement. The morning saw the US and Ukraine signal progress after Geneva talks, with an 'updated' peace framework expected. By late morning, President Trump hinted at 'something good' after the talks, with reports of European offers to allow Russia back into the G8.
Later in the day, Trump continued to hint at 'big progress,' though President Zelensky cautioned against territorial concessions. The White House noted 'a couple of points of disagreement' on the Ukraine peace deal, but Trump expressed a desire for a swift resolution. Separately, Rachel Reeves' upcoming Budget garnered sustained scrutiny over potential tax increases, pension raids, and a 'growth emergency.'
