On Friday, the White House announced that the UK prime minister will also travel to Washington for his second bilateral meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House on Friday 13 September.
The PM said his first face-to face talks with President Biden in July were an opportunity to “recommit” to Nato and the “special relationship” between the UK and US.
Speaking ahead of next week’s meeting, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Mr Starmer and Mr Biden will have “an in-depth discussion on a range of global issues of mutual interest”.
The White House added “robust support to Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression” will also be discussed, as well as securing a hostage release and ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza.
“President Biden will underscore the importance of continuing to strengthen the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom,” the White House also said.
