The two leaders shared laughs and more sober sentiments in the Oval Office on Thursday about the close relations between prior leaders from the two countries as they previewed topics for the meeting, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, artificial intelligence, Northern Ireland as well as joint economic and security interests, including in Asia.
"It's daunting to think if the conversations that our predecessors had in this room, when they had to speak of wars that they fought together, peace won together," Sunak told Biden. Sunak joked that he would not create the same imposition on Biden that World War II-era British Prime Minister Winston Churchill did by allegedly wandering around the White House residence in the middle of the night when he was a guest of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
