And today, we’re discussing how we can do this by deepening intelligence and security co-operation and critically, by stepping up our efforts to counter Daesh in cyber space, because we know we will not eradicate this threat until we defeat the idea – the ideology that lies behind it. Our 2 nations are already leading efforts to face up to this challenge and we’re making progress with Daesh losing territory and fighters, but we need to redouble our efforts. The President has mentioned foreign policy we’re discussing how we can work even more closely together in order to take on and defeat Daesh and the ideology of Islamistic extremism, wherever it’s found.
Now, today we’re discussing a number of topics and there’s much on which we agree. And in a further sign of importance in that relationship, I have today been able to convey Her Majesty, the Queen’s hope that President Trump and the First Lady would pay a state visit to the United Kingdom later this year, and I’m delighted that the President has accepted that invitation. And I’m delighted to be able to congratulate you on what was a stunning election victory.Īnd as you say, the invitation is an indication of the strength and importance of the special relationship that exists between our 2 countries, a relationship based on the bonds of history, of family, kinship and common interests.
Thank you very much, Mr President and can I start by saying that I’m so pleased that I’ve been able to be here today and thank you for inviting me so soon after your inauguration. On behalf of our nation, I thank you for joining us here today as a really great honour. Great days lie ahead for our 2 peoples and our 2 countries. Madam Prime Minister, we look forward to working closely with you as we strengthen our mutual ties in commerce, business and foreign affairs. Both America and Britain understand that governments must be responsive to everyday working people, that governments must represent their own citizens.

That is why the United States respects the sovereignty of the British people and their right of self-determination.Ī free and independent Britain is a blessing to the world and our relationship has never been stronger. Together, America and the United Kingdom are a beacon for prosperity and the rule of law. We pledge our lasting support to this most special relationship. Today the United States renews our deep bond with Britain – military, financial, cultural and political – we have one of the great bonds. The special relationship between our 2 countries has been one of the great forces in history for justice and for peace and by the way, my mother was born in Scotland, Stornoway, which is serious Scotland. This is our first visit, so, great honour. I am honoured to have Prime Minister Theresa May here for our first official visit from a foreign leader.
