The upcoming meeting between Keir Starmer and Joe Biden is significant as it marks their first encounter since Biden's announcement of not seeking re-election.
Starmer's visit to the White House will include discussions on global issues like robust support for Ukraine and securing a hostage release in Gaza.
The leaders' agenda will also focus on protecting international shipping from Iranian-backed Houthi threats and advancing US-UK cooperation in climate resilience.
It's uncertain whether Starmer will meet with Donald Trump, although there's precedent for a UK prime minister to engage with Republican nominees.
