Biden's visit to Britain, a key ally, prior to heading on to a NATO summit in Lithuania seeks to 'further strengthen the close friendship' between the two nations, said the White House.
LONDON, United Kingdom - US President Joe Biden was in Britain on Monday for a brief visit to his key ally during which he will meet King Charles III and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before going on to a NATO summit in Lithuania.
Sunak travelled to the United States in June for a two-day visit where the leaders discussed Ukraine, AI regulation and post-Brexit ties.Biden said the United States has "no closer ally" than Britain. Biden said the decision to send the weapons was "very difficult" but Ukrainian forces conducting a counteroffensive against invading Russian troops were "running out of ammunition".
The talks will be an opportunity for Biden and Sunak to "compare notes" on Ukraine ahead of a meeting with fellow NATO leaders in Lithuania, Amanda Sloat, National Security Council senior director for Europe, said in a briefing on Friday.
