The prime minister is travelling to the US for his fourth meeting with Joe Biden in as many months. Ukraine will be on the table when the pair talk, as will economic growth - and hopefully for Mr Sunak - Artificial Intelligence.
Number 10 is keen to stress not just the Rishi Sunak reset after the testy era of the Boris Johnson and Liz Truss reigns, but the strengthening of relations between the US and UK under a Sunak premiership.
Rishi Sunak talks with Joe Biden before a session on the first day of the G7 Leaders Summit in Japan. Pic: No 10 When it comes to trade, the Biden administration has put the much-vaunted US-UK free trade deal into the deep freeze, so much so that neither side plan to even raise it in these bilateral talks.While Mr Sunak will use the trip to try to drum up more US investment, with an announcement of £14bn of US backing into the UK and an address to the"business roundtable chief executive" forum, the absence of any trade deal is another broken Conservative manifesto promise.
"Neither side is pursuing a US free trade deal currently, but our trading relationship with the US is vital," the prime minister's spokesperson said.
