Biden begins three-nation tour with UK visit before NATO summit

United States President Joe Biden has kicked off a three-nation trip, dominated by a NATO summit aimed at showing solidarity with Ukraine amid disagreements over Kyiv’s possible accession into the alliance.

Biden arrived in the United Kingdom, a key US ally, late on Sunday.

“Our relationship is rock solid,” Biden said on Monday, as he met Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street.

Their discussions are set to include the upcoming NATO summit, which starts in Vilnius on July 11, and the Ukraine war.

“As we face new and unprecedented challenges to our physical and economic security, our alliances are more important than ever,” Sunak said in a statement.

“The UK is Europe’s leading NATO ally, we are the United States’ most important trade, defence and diplomatic partner, and we are at the forefront of providing Ukraine with the support they need to succeed on the battlefield,” he added.
