Joe Biden has shown support for Keir Starmer's goal of fostering a closer relationship between the UK and the European Union during their first bilateral talks at the White House.

The US president called the US and the UK the best of allies as he met the new UK prime minister.

Biden said, “I kind of see you guys as the knot tying the transatlantic alliance together, the closer you are with Europe,” he told Starmer.

Biden has maintained a strong interest in Brexit, consistently cautioning that peace in Northern Ireland must not be endangered by complications arising from the UK's decision to leave the EU.

Notably, the UK PM has used the NATO summit to emphasise the UK’s commitment to the alliance, as well as to Ukraine, assuring that he will stick with plans to spend at least £3bn ($35,913,257.56 USD) every year on military support to Kyiv for “as long as is it takes” in its conflict with Russia.

Starmer is also trying to build relationships with European leaders as he tries to seal an EU-UK security pact.

“The relationship is special and important. It’s forged in difficult circumstances, endured for so long, and stronger now than ever,” the UK PM said and added, “I’m very contented to be able to come so early in government to recommit to NATO, to recommit to the special relationship.”

<h2>Biden-Starmer meet</h2>

At the beginning of their talks, Biden was asked by reporters about George Clooney's article in the New York Times, which suggested that Biden should step down as the Democratic presidential candidate. The president simply shrugged in response.

When asked by reporters if “football is coming home”? “It looks like it,” Starmer replied.

UK PM told the US President, “I began to watch the game with the Netherlands prime minister, but we left at 1-1.”

Biden threw his head back and laughed, revealing a glistening set of teeth. “And you guys are still talking to one another?” he joked.

Earlier, the prime minister, an avid football fan, presented the president with an Arsenal shirt featuring the name "Biden" and the number 46 on the back—a nod to his position as the 46th US president.&nbsp;

“It’s [Starmer’s] team and [he] thought it would make a personal gift,” a senior No 10 official said.&nbsp;

Starmer has earlier given the French President Emmanuel Macron an Arsenal t-shirt as a gift.

He also gave Biden a framed copy of the original Atlantic charter that led to the formation of NATO, with then Labour prime minister Clement Attlee’s amendments.

After the talks, the Bidens were hosting Starmer, who has been accompanied by his wife, Victoria, to Washington, and other Nato leaders and their partners at a glitzy White House dinner.

A US military pier constructed two months ago to facilitate humanitarian aid into Gaza is set to be permanently dismantled within the next few days, according to a recent report.

The pier, which was removed earlier to avoid bad weather, would be reconnected to the Gaza coastline on Wednesday (July 10) but it will be functional for just the next few days before being disassembled by the US army and navy, according to a report in The Associated Press (AP).

The AP, citing unnamed officials, reported that the pier will be reinstalled temporarily to move humanitarian supplies that have accumulated in Cyprus and on a floating dock offshore since it was dismantled due to bad weather conditions on June 28.

Notably the pier proposal was first introduced by US President Joe Biden in March. The pier was a temporary measure for allowing the aid across land crossings by Israel.

Since being positioned on May 17, the pier has been operational for fewer than 20 days. During most of that time, aid deliveries were merely unloaded on the beach and not distributed throughout Gaza due to security concerns.

It is worth mentioning here, that the World Food Programme (WFP) suspended distribution convoys on 9 June, after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted hostage rescue operation that saved four Israeli hostages but resulted in the deaths of 274 Palestinians.

During its two months of operation, approximately 8,800 metric tons of aid, around 500 truckloads have been unloaded off the pier. This amount is equivalent to a single day's delivery&nbsp;before the war began.

Land deliveries have declined significantly since Israel launched an offensive on the southern border city of Rafah in May.&nbsp;

According to UN figures, the number of trucks entering Gaza decreased from 840 in May to 756 in June and has dropped to only 18 so far in July.
