This is the best summary I could come up with:
Boris Johnson has met Donald Trump to discuss the situation in Ukraine “at length”.
Mr Johnson became the latest former British prime minister to head to the US for the Republican National Convention this week, after Liz Truss arrived in Milwaukee on Monday.
But unlike his successor, he confirmed he had held a face-to-face meeting with the presidential hopeful, which Sky News understands lasted around 30 minutes.
The ex-Tory leader posted a picture of the pair on X and released a statement, saying Trump had been “on superb form following the appalling attempt on his life”.
But the main focus on the discussion was the war in Ukraine - something central to Mr Johnson’s premiership as he built support from international partners for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
But in his statement, the former prime minister said: “We discussed Ukraine at length and I know that he will give the strong and decisive leadership necessary to protect democracy against aggression.”
