00:00When I met with Prime Minister Starmer at Downing Street yesterday, I told him that I thought his

00:03national address a few hours earlier was well done. He noted, of course, that the UK and the

00:09US are close allies and that our strong, constructive partnership all these years

00:14has been built on mutual respect and focused on results. I thought that was exactly the

00:20right message and the right tone. And because of that, we've always been able to work through

00:24our differences calmly as friends. We will continue to do that. I want to assure you this

00:30morning that that is still the case. I spoke to President Trump at length yesterday and I told

00:35him that I really felt that my mission here, even though we planned this back in the fall,

00:41we didn't know how the events would develop over the last few days. But I told the President that

00:46I felt that my mission here today was to encourage our friends and help to calm the waters, so to speak,

00:52and I hope to do so. As the Prime Minister said yesterday, let us look to agreement, continue

00:59our dialogue, and find a resolution, just as we always have in the past. And in that process, I am

01:05confident that we can and will maintain and strengthen our special relationship between

01:10these two nations, send a message of unity and resolve to our allies around the world, and remind

01:16our adversaries and the terrorists and tyrants everywhere that our nations that are dedicated

01:22to freedom and justice and order and human dignity are stronger and more resolved now than ever before.
