"U.K. PM Sunak discusses Ukraine, Nato, and AI with Biden at White House"

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is visiting the White House to reset the "special relationship" between the United States and the United Kingdom. Sunak hopes to prove that Britain remains one of the most important U.S. allies after Brexit and political turmoil in London. The talks are expected to focus on specific and targeted ways to improve trade between the two countries, including a carve-out to protect the U.K. car industry from Biden's green subsidies or some offer on digital services. Sunak may also lobby Biden to back his U.K. defense secretary, Ben Wallace, to become the next secretary-general of NATO. The topic of Ukraine is also expected to dominate the talks. Sunak's government announced that London would host a global AI summit this fall to discuss ways of monitoring the technology's risks, positioning the U.K. as a leader on AI.
