00:00This week we've celebrated a unique relationship, our shared history, with a hugely successful state visit, and it has been hugely successful.
00:10Now, today, it's our task to look forward, to apply our collective strength and leadership to the challenges that we face today on behalf of the people that we respectively serve.
00:23This summit will signal a step change in our partnership to deliver greater prosperity and security for working people, building on our new agreement with the EU, which, of course, you referenced last night.
00:38In uncertain times, we achieve more by strengthening our relationship with our allies.
00:43For us, it's about delivering the changes that the British people want to see.
00:48We all agree the situation in the channel cannot go on as it is.
00:53So we're bringing new tactics into play and a new level of intent to tackle illegal migration and break the business model of the criminal gangs.
01:04We're also deepening our economic cooperation to boost growth and to create jobs.
01:09And we're celebrating the new investment into Sizewell C, helping to strengthen our energy security and protect bill payers for many years to come.
01:20We're also updating the historic Lancaster House Treaty, an ambition that we put in motion very early on to strengthen our collective defense and security.
01:31As Europe's only nuclear powers, providing about 40% of European defense spending, we share a unique responsibility for the security of this continent.
01:44It is right that we step up and take on that responsibility together, whilst also delivering a defense dividend for our people.
