TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The breaching of a major dam in southern Ukraine has given the subject added urgency. Sunak said that if Moscow was responsible it would “demonstrate the new lows that we would have seen from Russian aggression.” Sunak also wants to discuss closer economic ties and artificial intelligence during the trip.

VERBATIM: Sunak is carrying the message that post-Brexit Britain remains an essential American ally in a world of emboldened authoritarian states.
