Biden Welcomes Closer UK-Europe Ties in First Starmer Meeting
- Prime minister has been pursuing security pact at NATO summit
- US is keen for harmony after years of Brexit-related acrimony
President Joe Biden called the UK the “knot” that ties the NATO alliance together as he praised new Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s efforts to forge closer ties with Europe.
It was the first meeting of the two leaders since the Labour Party won the British election less than a week ago.
