Truss’s first big diplomatic meeting cancelled by Biden

Meeting rearranged for Wednesday in New York as Bidens travel to UK for Queen's funeral

Liz Truss's planned meeting with Joe Biden in Downing Street, which was to be her first major diplomatic event as prime minister, has been rescheduled for Wednesday at the UN.

Officials from both countries said that a meeting in the margins of the UN general assembly would allow fuller" bilateral discussion and was not the result of friction. But, whenever the two leaders meet, they face disagreements over Northern Ireland.
