The two had an informal conversation at the Prime Minister's office, with potential topics like Russia's political dynamics and Ukrainian conflict possibly on the table.

The meeting was part of Obama's London trip, centered on his non-profit work through the Obama Foundation. Sunak, pleased with the visit, engaged in dialogue regarding the foundation's initiatives.

This encounter is the first between Sunak and Obama, who later left the premises with US ambassador Jane Hartley, playfully declining to comment to the press.
