British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is on his way to the US on Tuesday, will say in Washington that economic and defense cooperation “must be the two pillars of the UK-US alliance”.
“Highlighting the role our defense partnership has played in protecting our people for decades, the Prime Minister will say that comprehensive cooperation on economic issues will allow us to do the same for the next century,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. .
During Sunak’s visit, President Joe Biden will meet with members of Congress and US business leaders, and the two leaders are expected to step up their work to “protect key industries and protect supply chains from threats, including hostile states.”
The statement states that the trade relationship between the two countries is on the rise, with US firms committed to more than £14 billion ($17.4 billion) of new investments in the UK, announced today. It is stated to be worth £279 billion per year.
“The UK and the US have always worked in concert to protect our people and sustain our lifestyle. As the challenges and threats we face change, we need to forge an alliance that protects our economies as well,” Sunak said in a statement.
“Just as interoperability between our armies has given us a battlefield advantage over our enemies, greater economic interoperability will give us a crucial advantage in the decades to come.”
Meanwhile, the British prime minister said that the UK and the US always work in harmony to protect their citizens.
“Now the UK and the US need to form an alliance that also protects our economies. This is my focus on my way to Washington DC,” he said on Twitter, and shared a photo of him on the plane with a journalist. WE.
