President Joe Biden is set to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington next week where they are expected to discuss a range of critical topics, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. The meeting comes as Biden aims to increase his involvement on the global stage during his remaining time in office. The international community is paying close attention to the unfolding dynamics between potential successors Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that the upcoming meeting, the second between Biden and Starmer since the British Prime Minister’s election earlier this year, will focus on reaffirming Western support for Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression. The discussions will also address efforts to negotiate a hostage release and ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, concerns about threats to commercial shipping in the Red Sea by the Iranian-backed Houthis, and shared interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
Starmer previously visited the White House two months ago for a one-on-one meeting with Biden during the NATO Summit, underlining the ongoing collaboration and partnership between the U.S. and the United Kingdom on key global issues.
