00:00The first president I had the honor of meeting at the age of 10 in 1959 when he came to
00:05Balmoral was President Eisenhower,
00:07who had served as supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces during World War II
00:13at a most critical time in the darkest days of the 20th century.
00:19American leadership helped rebuild a shattered continent playing a decisive role as a defender of freedom in Europe.
00:27We and I shall never forget that, not least as freedom is again under attack following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
00:39Today, our partnerships in NATO and AUKUS deepen our technological and military cooperation
00:46and ensure that together we can meet the challenges of an increasingly complex and contested world.
