00:00Well firstly on defense security and intelligence we share that with the
00:07Americans 24-7 and it's really important but we must never lose sight of that
00:12whoever's the Prime Minister whoever's the president for decades now that has
00:15been a very close relationship so for defense security and intelligence it's
00:19really important. Yes of course there have been some hard discussions with
00:23President Trump but a lot of what he said is designed to put pressure on me
00:28to change my mind and to get dragged into this war but I'm not going to do so I'm
00:33the British Prime Minister and I act in the British national interest and always
00:38will so whatever the pressure whoever it's coming from I'm not going to waver
00:43on this I will put the British national interest first I don't think it's in our
00:47national interest to get dragged into this war it is in our interests to protect
00:53British lives and British interests and our allies in the Gulf region and that's
00:59what we're doing now
