Sunak greets Biden exterior No 10 as they focus on Ukraine forward of NATO assembly
Joe Biden has arrived at No. 10 Downing Street for bilateral talks with Rishi Sunak.
President Biden walked up the highway from his automotive, ‘The Beast’, to be greeted by Rishi Sunak with a heat handshake and smile.
The President waved to the assembled press and photographers earlier than heading inside.
His go to lasted just below 40 minutes, barely shorter than the 45 minutes billed.
It’s believed the pair mentioned the US’s resolution to ship cluster bombs to Ukraine amongst different points.
Mr Biden’s go to comes amid considerations in regards to the state of the UK-US ‘particular relationship’ after Boris and Brexit.
Speaking in the present day, the President stated the connection is “rock solid” in a lift for Rishi Sunak’s worldwide standing.
He added Rishi Sunak “couldn’t be meeting with a closer friend and a greater ally”, including: “our relationship is rock solid”.
The President joked it was “good to be back” because the pair have “only been meeting once a month” since Mr Sunak grew to become Prime Minister.
Rishi Sunak stated it was “great for us to carry on our conversation” as he met the President for the fifth time since changing into Prime Minister.
Mr Sunak stated the pair will contemplate “how do we strengthen our cooperation, joint economic security to the benefit of our citizens”.
He added the US and UK “stand as two of the firmest allies in that alliance and I know we’ll want to do everything we can to strengthen Euro-Atlantic security”.
The pair walked into the Downing Street backyard, the place they have been pictured ingesting tea.
The pink carpet was rolled out for the President, with a safety officer seen selecting up Larry the Cat who had been pictured sunbathing on the carpet previous to the VIP arrival.
The President will head to Windsor afterwards to satisfy with The King, the place they’re anticipated to debate local weather change, earlier than jetting off for the G7 summit in Lithuania.
