S&P 500 posts longest winning streak in 2024 with sixth straight record
Sir Keir Starmer will present Joe Biden with an Arsenal football shirt bearing the number 46, a reference to his status as the 46th US president, when the pair meet for the first time on Wednesday.
Britain’s new prime minister, a passionate football fan and season ticket holder for the north London Premier League club, thought it would be “a personal gift”, a Downing Street official said ahead of bilateral talks at the White House.
Although Starmer is attending a meeting of NATO leaders at a summit in Washington during the Euro 2016 semi-final match between England and the Netherlands earlier in the day, he said he expected his officials to pass him notes with an update on the score.
“England haven’t missed a penalty under a Labour government in 2024,” he joked to reporters on the way to the summit.
