British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will meet with President Biden at the White House on June 8 to discuss Russia’s war on Ukraine and improving economic ties between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
The White House announced the visit Tuesday, saying the two leaders will discuss confronting “shared economic and national security challenges.”
“The visit will be an opportunity to build on the discussions that the prime minister and President Biden have had in recent months about enhancing the level of cooperation and coordination between the U.K. and the U.S. on the economic challenges that will define our future,” the spokesman said in a statement.
British leaders began discussions with the U.S. during the Trump administration, but the talks stalled after Mr. Biden was elected. Mr. Sunak, 43, took office last October.
