U.S. President Barack Obama will meet Jeremy Corbyn, left-wing leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, in London on Saturday (today), the White House said on Friday.
It gave no details about the meeting, which it said would be closed to the media.
Obama injects himself into contentious debate over whether Britain should exit the EU. Obama earlier intervened in the debate over Britain's EU membership, urging Britons to vote to remain in the bloc in a June referendum and warning that if they left they would be at the back of the queue for a U.S. trade deal.
