Security measure were put into place Thursday morning, as President Joe Biden got set to meet with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Counterterrorism police were seen patrolling St. Ives in Cornwall. That is where the two are set to meet later Thursday.

President Biden and Prime Minister Johnson are expected to discuss continued partnerships between the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as the next steps in dealing with the pandemic.

The meeting comes a day before the G-7 Summit is set to kick off. The summit, as well as a meeting between Biden and Queen Elizabeth II, will wrap up the first leg of Biden’s first overseas trip as president.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Biden and Johnson are expected to discuss renewing a decades-old Atlantic Charter.

Straight Arrow News will report more details on the meeting and Charter later today.
