Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's planned speaking event at the University of Iowa has been postponed.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's speaking event at the University of Iowa has been postponed. The event was scheduled for Monday, 2 November, and was to be organised by the university's Young Americans for Freedom chapter. Mr Johnson was due to speak about 'Saving the West' to the group.

No replacement date for the appearance has been announced. The postponement comes after Mr Johnson, who lives near Wallingford in Oxfordshire, has continued to give speaking events around the world following the end of his premiership in summer 2022.

Earlier this month, Mr Johnson published a Ukrainian edition of his memoir 'Unleashed'. When 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.' He added: 'This is a time when Ukraine is under terrific pressure - of course Ukraine is going to win.'
