0:22Now PlayingUS President Joe Biden met with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday at Number 10 Downing Street.
The two leaders sat down in the garden and had tea.
Sunak said it was a privilege to have Biden over, adding the leaders would be discussing strengthening their cooperation and partnership as NATO members.
Biden lauded the relationship between the two countries as "rock solid".
It is the sixth meeting between Biden and Sunak since Sunak assumed his role in October.
It's all meant to highlight the so-called enduring “special relationship” between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
Biden sat down with Sunak in a session that the White House said will focus on a range of global issues but is sure to be dominated by their continued efforts to back Ukraine.
The two nations have been among the most stalwart defenders of Kyiv, and the U.K. has pushed the White House to take more aggressive steps in providing military aid to Ukraine.
But now it’s the Biden administration that has taken steps that 10 Downing St. feels go too far, with the U.S. president’s decision this week to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, a weapon that more than two-thirds of the members of the NATO military alliance have barred for their potential threat to civilian life.
Sunak, for his part, has distanced himself from the U.S. decision.
