Listen on

Episode notes

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 on Monday before taking tea with King Charles at Windsor Castle to discuss climate change.

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 issue of Washington’s plan to arm Kyiv with cluster bombs, which are so devastating to civilians.

For the latest analysis on President Biden’s visit, the Leader podcast’s joined by Evening Standard political editor Nicholas Cecil.
