00:00Well look, the Western alliance is something that's protected us for, you know, half a century
00:04and I think everybody needs to realise that that is a relationship which is important for us.
00:11Kemi has been very clear in calling out President Trump where there have been words coming across the Atlantic
00:15that she said was childish and the only people I think that's winning from the undermining of that relationship
00:20is our enemies, people like Russia, people like Iran, people like North Korea
00:25who are looking to see how well this alliance is holding up.
00:28So yes, I do think it's important that across the Western alliance we are making sure that we're protecting and
00:34investing in those relationships
00:35because ultimately that's what's kept us safe and that's what will keep us safe going forward.
