President Joe Biden’s touched down in the UK to meet prime minister Rishi Sunak - and it’s only been three months since his last visit.
Biden arrived in Air Force One at Stansted Airport on Sunday night and he met Sunak in Downing Street Monday before taking tea with King Charles at Windsor Castle.
The 80-year-old president and the 74-year-old king discussed how to help boost private investment to combat climate change, a threat both leaders say is existential.
Biden and Sunak will have Ukraine’s progress against Russia’s invasion high on their agenda, plus President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hope to join Nato.
The leaders will also likely discuss the highly controversial issues of Washington’s plan to arm Kyiv with cluster bombs, which are so devastating to civilians.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine are signatories to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, the international treaty prohibiting their use.
America’s not signed up to the treaty either - but Britain is.
For the latest analysis on President Biden’s visit, The Leader podcast’s joined by Evening Standard political editor Nicholas Cecil.
