- President Trump's controversial peace plan for Israel and Palestine likely to
come up. Has been criticised by Middle Eastern leaders, but received some
praise, including from UK PM Johnson.
- UK gov'ts decision to allow Huawei to provide some of its 5G network also a

UK citizen Harry Dunn in car accident in Aug 2019, also a hot-button issue for
Pompeo and Raab. UK gov't wants her extradition, but US not budging. Speculation
that some quid-pro-quo regarding FBI investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein
and questions they have for Prince Andrew could come into play.
