President Joe Biden and the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak had a phone call in which they decided to collaborate in order to help Ukraine and confront China, according to the White House.
The two leaders spoke for the first time hours after Sonak took office as the third prime minister of Britain this year to succeed Liz Terrace, which was overthrown of an economic crisis just 49 days after assuming the mission.
The two leaders affirmed their “special connection” and their determination to cooperate to advance world security and prosperity, according to a statement from the White House.
The statement also emphasised “the need of working together to support Ukraine and hold Russia accountable for its aggression” in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
” The White House said that Biden and Sonak also agreed to “face the challenges imposed by China” that Washington today considers the largest geopolitical and economic competitor.
In a phone chat, Biden told Sonak, according to the British Prime Minister, that “the United Kingdom will remain the closest ally” of Washington.
Sonak and Biden “examined the scope of collaboration between the United Kingdom and the United States, whether at the bilateral level or in regions similar to the Indian and calm surrounding region,” according to a previous “Downing Street” statement.
They also appeared to have addressed the Northern Ireland problem, according to the statement.
Britain is a major European ally of the United States in arming and supporting the Ukrainian army to repel the Russian invasion that started last February..
