Biden's Visit to UK: Meeting with King Charles and Sunak Amid Ukraine Concerns

President Biden is in Britain to meet with King Charles III and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before attending a NATO summit in Lithuania and visiting Finland. Biden stated that a NATO membership vote for Ukraine would be premature while the war with Russia is ongoing, but called for a rational path for Ukraine to join the alliance. Turkey and Hungary are blocking Sweden's bid for NATO membership, highlighting divisions within the alliance. The war in Ukraine has strained relations between Russia and the West, with NATO's chief calling for increased defense spending and support for Ukraine. In the war zone, four people were killed in a Russian attack on the city of Orikhiv, and Russian attacks have killed over 170 civilians in Kyiv. Some Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns about the US decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine.
