BORIS Johnson has warned Donald Trump he will not make America great again if Ukraine falls into the hands of Vladmir Putin.
The former PM invoked former US President Ronald Reagan when speaking out against an alleged plan to pressure Kiev into ceding Crimea and the Donbass border region as a price for peace.
He said at a conservative event in Canada: “If we are the party of Ronald Reagan, if we want to make America great again, then we do not start a new Republican presidency… by conceding victory to Vladimir Putin.
“It would be a disaster for the West and it would be a disaster for America.”
Johnson also reiterated his call for Ukraine to join NATO and dismissed fears that this could further provoke Putin.
He said: “Ukraine has chosen to be a free and independent European nation, oriented towards the West, towards the EU, towards NATO.
“And Ukraine must join NATO.
“That’s the only logical way to resolve this.”
Earlier this week, Trump and David Cameron dined at Mar-a-Lago – with Brexit on the menu.
The former US president and Republican candidate hosted the Foreign Minister at his luxury Palm Beach resort – but both sides agreed not to release photographs.
Lord Cameron, who led efforts to keep Britain in the United Kingdom, discussed “specific political issues of Brexit” with Don Corleone, who was a strong supporter of leaving.
With Trump calling on European powers to do more to fund NATO, they talked about increasing defense spending and “ending the killing in Ukraine.”
Trump’s spokesperson said they “also discussed their mutual admiration for the late Queen Elizabeth II.”
Meanwhile, the Foreign Office remained much quieter, saying only that it was a “productive meeting” that highlighted the “breadth and strength” of the UK-US relationship.
