Reeves: US and UK cannot be divided

ODN

Speaking at a business reception at Lancaster House following Donald Trump’s state visit, the Chancellor said “We rely on the security that the United States provides. But even being the greatest country in the world, you can't do that on your own. Allies are so important.” Report by Gluszczykm.

00:00If America wasn't there in the world, what would the world look like today?

00:04If you were not the global superpower and it was another nation instead,

00:08would we sleep more easily in our beds tonight or not?

00:11And I think we all know the answer to that.

00:13We rely on the security that the United States provides,

00:17but even being the greatest country in the world, you can't do that on your own.

00:21Allies are so important.

00:23Allies are so important in the world which we face today.

00:25Where other countries that don't share the values of the United Kingdom and the United States

00:30want to challenge us and want to impose a different world order.

00:34And so this trade deal, I think, signifies something much more than just trade and investment.

00:39It signifies who we are as countries and the values that we share.

00:44And so this isn't just about doing great deals for each other because we like each other

00:50or because our economies have got great things to offer.

00:53This is a great deal for both of our countries and for the world

00:56because it shows two countries more closely aligned, that won't be torn apart,

01:02that cannot be divided.

01:05And I think that is incredibly important with all the challenges that we face.

01:08Thank you very much.
