Biden arrives in London on Sunday night is expected to have a full schedule of meetings Monday.
Despite Sunak’s shaky political standing, he has fostered close ties with Biden and it will be their sixth meeting since Sunak took office last October. FILE – President Joe Biden, left, walks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of a working session on Ukraine during the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, Sunday, May 21, 2023. Biden will spend four days in three nations next week as he travels through Europe tending to alliances that have been tested by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Biden wants the trip to serve as a showcase for solidarity as Ukraine struggles to repel Russia from its territory with the help of Western weapons.
Biden is likely to face questions from allies on why the U.S. would send a weapon into Ukraine that more than two-thirds of NATO members have banned because it has a track record for causing many civilian casualties. One issue has already been settled, at least for the time being. Stoltenberg’s term has been extended for a year because members could not agree on a new leader.
The Nordic country in April became the 31st member of NATO, ending its history of nonalignment and demonstrating how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has backfired in Europe.
