Prime Minister Chris Luxon's enjoyed a variety of discussions with fellow leaders in Washington DC for the NATO Summit.

President Joe Biden has hosted a White House dinner with NATO partners.

ZB political editor Jason Walls is travelling with the Prime Minister.

He says Luxon described meeting Biden, and some other interactions, in a statement to media.

"He didn't go into detail in the statement as to what they talked about - but it did go on to say that he talked all things Hobbit with the Prime Minister of Italy."
