Watch as world leaders arrive for a Nato summit in Washington DC on Wednesday, 10 July.

Sir Keir Starmer has travelled to the US in one of his first international engagements as British prime minister.

Speaking to journalists on his flight over, the PM said he hoped the summit will “Trump proof” aid to Ukraine to help it hold off Russia.

Sir Keir insisted that the defence and security of Britain and its allies will be his first priority, but would not give a timetable on when his “iron clad commitment” to increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent will come into force.

Later today, US secretary of state Antony Blinken and Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg will join other world leaders in addressing the Nato Public Forum.

Other leaders present and due to speak at the summit include US secretary of defence Lloyd Austin and UK defence secretary John Healey.

Philippine forces sail to hotly disputed shoal without incident for first time since deal with China
Philippine government personnel transported food and other supplies Saturday to a fiercely disputed shoal occupied by a Filipino navy contingent but closely guarded by Beijing’s forces in the South China Sea and no confrontations were reported, Philippine officials said. It was the first Philippine government supply trip to the Second Thomas Shoal, which has been the scene of increasingly violent confrontations between Chinese and Philippine forces, since the Philippines and China reached a deal a week ago to prevent clashes, the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila said in a statement. "The lawful and routine rotation and resupply mission within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone is a credit to the professionalism of the men and women of the Philippine navy and the Philippine coast guard and the close coordination among the National Security Council, Department of National Defense and the Department of Foreign Affairs,” the Philippine Foreign Affairs Department said, without providing other details.

What Vietnam's leadership change could mean for Beijing, and the South China Sea dispute
China's ties with Vietnam are expected to remain largely stable, observers say, even as uncertainty looms in Hanoi following the death of long-serving leader Nguyen Phu Trong.

Netanyahu meets with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, offering measured optimism on a Gaza cease-fire
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu worked to mend ties with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday and offered measured optimism about progress toward a cease-fire deal for Gaza as he neared the end of a contentious U.S. visit that put on display the growing American divisions over support for the Israeli-Hamas war. At Trump's Florida Mar-a-Lago estate, where the two men met face-to-face for the first time in nearly four years, Netanyahu told journalists he wanted to see U.S.-mediated talks succeed for a cease-fire and release of hostages. “I hope so,” Netanyahu said, when reporters asked if his U.S. trip had made progress.
