Washington: US President Joe Biden spoke to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the phone and expressed a desire to further strengthen the ‘special relationship’ between the two countries. The White House gave this information. The UK is hosting the G7 conference and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) this year. During the conversation, Biden expressed readiness to collaborate with Johnson.
In this conversation on Saturday, Britain’s Prime Minister Johnson told President Biden that he was willing to make a new business deal between the US-UK. It said in a statement issued from Downing Street. Having a new business deal is more important to Johnson than Biden. After the end of Brexit, Britain now controls its national policy of coercion. However, White House Secretary Jane Saki said on Friday that the Biden administration has not set a deadline for a new business deal because the Biden administration is currently focused on controlling the Covid-19 epidemic.
“The President has expressed his intention to further strengthen the special relations between the two countries and revive relations across the Atlantic and underscore the importance of NATO in shared defense and common values,” the White House said in a statement. ” The statement said Biden also emphasized the importance of cooperation through multilateral organizations on challenges such as climate change, controlling the Covid-19 epidemic, and global health security. The two leaders also discussed the need for coordination of common foreign policy priorities regarding China, Iran, and Russia. Biden spoke to Mexico’s President Andres Manuel López Obrador on Friday. During the talks, the two leaders discussed other issues of bilateral cooperation including regional immigration and epidemics.
