Biden To Host UK PM Sunak 8 June

The White House has confirmed that President Joe Biden will host UK PM Rishi Sunak for a working visit on 8 June. Statement says that the two will review global issues, "[...]including their steadfast support for Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s brutal war of aggression, as well as further action to bolster energy security and address the climate crisis[...] efforts to continue strengthening our economic relationship as we confront shared economic and national security challenges. They will also review developments in Northern Ireland as part of their shared commitment to preserving the gains of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement."

• This will be Sunak's first visit to the White House in office, and is the first PM to hold talks with Biden at his D.C., residence since former PM Boris Johnson visited in September 2021.
• Earlier today, Sunak's spokesman Max Blain stated that the British PM is “not seeking to push a free trade agreement with the US currently,”
