US President Joe Biden has launched his first official overseas trip with a warning to Russia that it faces “robust and meaningful” consequences if it engages in “harmful activities”.
Mr Biden made his intention to strengthen ties with US allies, following strained
relations under the Trump administration.
President
Biden arrived in the UK on Wednesday.
He will meet
PM Boris Johnson to agree a new “Atlantic Charter”.
The pact will
be a modern version of the one agreed between Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt
in 1941, with a focus on challenges including climate change and security.
The BBC’s
political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, says the two are aiming to refresh a vital
relationship, after the turbulence of the Trump years and the pressures of the
pandemic.
