UK and US Top Diplomats Discuss Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran in Washington

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Wednesday, saying that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is "essential" to easing cost-of-living pressures in Britain.

The two discussed the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as Iran. Miliband, making his first official one-on-one visit to the US capital, thanked Rubio for a warm, productive meeting, and both reiterated their commitment to safe transit in the strait and ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. The White House had reportedly been concerned about Miliband's appointment, given his past criticism of President Donald Trump, but Prime Minister Andy Burnham has signaled a shift in North Sea oil policy that earned praise from the Oval Office.

Separately, new Defence Secretary Wes Streeting visited Ukraine for the first time, meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv to discuss protecting cities from Russian ballistic threats and potential co-production of weaponry. Miliband also plans to meet World Bank President Ajay Banga during his visit.
