The meeting will center on a new "Atlantic Charter" between the U.S. and UK. The original charter, signed by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt in 1941, set out anti-totalitarian aims and led to the creation of the United Nations and NATO after World War II.
A statement from Downing Street explained the agreement as a promise to "apply our combined strength" to battle the challenges of a post-COVID-19 world. Much like the G7 schedule, the charter also aims to usher in a new age in the fight against climate change.
