US Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson tells MPs on a visit to Parliament that he seeks to "calm the waters" in the US-UK relationship, adding that the US wants to maintain its 'special relationship' with Britain. It comes in the context of differences between London and Washington over U.S. President Trump's wish to supposedly 'annex' Greenland. Report by Keechl.

00:00I spoke to President Trump at length yesterday and I told him that I really felt that my mission here, even though we planned this back in the fall, we didn't know how the events would develop over the last few days, but I told the president that I felt that my mission here today was to encourage our friends and help to calm the waters, so to speak, and I hope to do so.
00:21As the Prime Minister said yesterday, let us look to agreement, continue our dialogue, and find a resolution, just as we always have in the past, and in that process, I am confident that we can and will maintain and strengthen our special relationship between these two nations, send a message of unity and resolve to our allies around the world, and remind our adversaries and the terrorists and tyrants everywhere that our nations that are dedicated
00:51to freedom and justice and order and human dignity are stronger and more resolved now than ever before. I think it's a very important message.
