The White House announced Tuesday that Joe Biden, the US President, and Rishi Sunak, Britain’s new Prime Minster, had agreed to meet in talks to help Ukraine and fight against China.
After Sunak was elected Britain’s third prime Minister this year, they spoke for the first times hours after Liz Truss had resigned after only 49 days.
In a reading of the conversation, the White House stated that the leaders also reiterated the “special relationship” between the United States, Britain, and promised to work together for global security and prosperity.
“The leaders agreed that it was important to work together to support Ukraine, and hold Russia responsible for its aggression,” the statement stated about the conflict triggered by Russia’s invasion of its pro-Western neighbour in February.
According to the White House, Biden and Sunak agreed to address the “challenges posed by China”, which Washington considers its most important geopolitical or economic rival on the global stage.
Downing St had previously released its own reading of the call, in which it stated that the pair “discussed both the extent of UK-US cooperatio in bilateral and in regions like the Indo-Pacific” as well as the more controversial issue of Northern Ireland.
Biden had earlier on Tuesday tweeted Sunak his congratulations.
Biden described Monday’s naming of Britain’s first non-white prime Minister as “pretty amazing, a landmark milestone.”
Britain was a crucial European ally to the United States when it came to arming and supporting Ukraine’s military in its attempt against the Russian invasion. This began last February.
