Downing Street said the visit reflected the “strong relationship” between the UK and US, after the White House confirmed the trip. A statement released by the White House said Mr Biden would be visiting the UK, Lithuania and Finland from July 9 to 13. Responding to the announcement, a No.10 spokeswoman added: “The Prime Minister looks forward to welcoming President Biden in the UK later this month. Mr Biden and First Lady Jill Biden travelled to London for the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II last September. Mr Biden also made a brief trip to Northern Ireland earlier this year to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
