U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in London Tuesday for meetings with new U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, less than a week after May took power following the U.K.’s decision last month to leave the European Union.

The former Massachusetts senator struggled to enter 10 Downing Street, however, bumping into the door on his way in.

Kerry’s public schedule says his trip to London will focus on multilateral talks related to Syria and Yemen. According to French news agency AFP, he will also speak with new U.K. foreign secretary (and once-Boston snowscape explorer) Boris Johnson, who was among the leaders of the pro-“Brexit” campaign that President Barack Obama decried. Kerry and Johnson will hold a joint press conference later in the day, AFP reports.
