He is in Northern Ireland following the announcement of a historic deal that he hopes will bring an end to the row over the bill.
The prime minister met with Ursula von der Leyen on Monday, 27 February, in Windsor where they reached an agreement to end the long-running dispute.
King Charles III then met with the European Commission president at Windsor Castle.

DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson warned that there remained to be “key issues of concern” surrounding the deal.
