Keir Starmer to meet Joe Biden for first time since president pulled out of race

PM's White House visit will be second since taking office, though no meetings with Kamala Harris have been announced

Keir Starmer will meet Joe Biden for the first time since the US president announced he would not run for re-election.

The prime minister's visit to the White House - Starmer's second since taking office - will take place next Friday . His first visit took place at the Nato summit days after Labour won the election, when questions were raging about the US president's age and health and Starmer described him as being on good form".
