Aside from Russia and the war in Ukraine, there are a number of geopolitical topics on the agenda for the talks.
Opening the meeting, President Joe Biden said they would discuss work to secure a deal to end the conflict in the Middle East.
He said the priorities were to secure the release of the hostages still held by Hamas, bring about a ceasefire, and increase the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
He said also brought up the Indo-Pacific, adding that there was “no region more important [to] our future”.
“There’s no issue of global consequence that the United States and Great Britain can’t work
together on,” he said.
In response, Sir Keir Starmer said the two countries had historically demonstrated “the strength of our relationship, that we
are strategically aligned”.
“We have common cause on these global issues, and
therefore it’s very important for us to have this opportunity to talk them
through, not just as a matter of tactics, but also the wider strategy that
underpins them,” he said.
