Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the Spectators' Daily Politics Podcast.

I'm Katie Balls and I'm joined by James Seifin Issafe and Isabel Hardman.

Boris Johnson's trip in America continues. James, Boris Johnson's meeting with Joe Biden later today. What do we expect to be on the agenda?

Well, I think Joe Biden has in some ways set the agenda already. We've had his speech for the UN General Assembly and he's announced that the US is doubling its contribution to

climate finance, which makes it much more likely, but you'll be able to get to about $100 billion

of climate finance from rich nations by COP 26. I think this had been a big UK concern, you know,

that Boris Johnson has spoken about it very publicly on Monday,

but that they weren't going to get to that sum of money,

which would have made the chance of getting an agreement there even more difficult.

So that's going to tick one.

Then obviously there is the continuing fallout from the UK, Australia, US deal. I think you'll expect them,

you know, to see them both kind of welcoming that, talking about it, you know, Biden in his speech

just now, the UN General Assembly is talking about how the US doesn't want a new Cold War.

The subtext of that might be that the, it is having, I mean, I think the US view would be that

it is having one forced upon it and it is taking steps. And then, and as you've said yourself, Katie, that there'll obviously

be the usual kind of watching of the dynamic between the two of them. I think one of the things

that is often ignored is how, and you saw this at the G7, how keen Boris Johnson is to point not just to their kind of

shared international outlook, but similarities in terms of their domestic agendas, you know,

the big infrastructure spending, build back better, which, you know, Johnson has stolen from

Biden as a slogan or borrowed, I think, I'm not sure who coined, you certainly wasn't Boris Johnson
