Boris Johnson is expected to push Joe Biden on the looming humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, the potential of reopening UK-US travel and climate change during a visit to the White House.

The British Prime Minister will head to Washington during an environment-focused trip to the US, where he will urge world leaders to take greater action on their commitments to tackle the climate crisis.
