Starmer to meet Biden at White House tomorrow

The Labour leader will try to reassure the nuclear alliance of his party's "unshakeable" support under his leadership. The meeting comes two years after his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn said he hoped organisations like Nato could be ultimately disbanded.

The new prime minster will also restate the UK’s commitment to Ukraine at a time when questions are being asked about US support, amid turmoil over the looming presidential election.

The summit, designed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Nato’s founding, will be the first since Sweden joined the alliance after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
