Asked about the report Monday afternoon, a spokesperson for U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Britain's "position has not changed" and that "Putin must fail." 

"It is crucial, now more than ever in this conflict, that Putin is sent a very clear message that we will support Ukraine for as long as is necessary," the spokesperson said. "I’ve seen some anonymous source briefing. We do not recognize those reports." 

Reporters also pressed Sunak about the report in central London on Monday.

Cameron said last month the meeting "was entirely in line with precedent with government ministers meeting with opposition politicians," adding that he and Trump discussed a "range of important geopolitical subjects" and that a victory for Ukraine is "vital for American and European security."

In a statement in April, Trump’s campaign said the meeting was held "to discuss several issues impacting both countries," including upcoming elections in both Britain and the United States, the implications of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, the need for NATO allies to meet their commitments on defense spending and "ending the killing in Ukraine."
