Boris Johnson, the former UK prime minister, has been announced as a speaker at the University of Iowa on 2 November. He will address the Young Americans for Freedom about 'Saving the West'.

Johnson's premiership ended in summer 2022 following a series of scandals. Since then, he has undertaken speaking engagements around the world and published his autobiography 'Unleashed' in 2024, which documents his time as prime minister.

Earlier this month, Johnson published a Ukrainian translation of his memoir. In announcing the publication, he said: 'I'm so thrilled that Vivat Publishing has decided to bring out a Ukrainian edition of my memoirs. It has a lot of Ukraine in it. And this is a time when Ukraine is under terrific pressure - of course Ukraine is going to win.' Johnson, who lives near Wallingford in Oxfordshire with his family, has previously served as Mayor of London and as an MP for Henley.
