Boris Johnson rallies Republican support for Ukraine in Dallas visit.

Boris Johnson, former UK Prime Minister, was dispatched to Texas by a pro-Ukraine think tank to shore up support for the war in wavering Republican heartlands. Johnson met with two dozen of Texas' leading conservative figures, including politicians, donors, and captains of industry, to urge them to stick with Ukraine. The lunch was not the first time Johnson has lobbied US lawmakers on Ukraine's behalf. As the 2024 US election draws nearer, tensions over the war are expected to rise further.
