Rishi in Washington

Yesterday, in Washington DC the Prime Minister discussed cooperation on economic security and announced the Atlantic Declaration with President Biden, delivering on our promise to grow the economy and creating thousands of new jobs in the UK.

• In recent months, the world has seen an increasing number of hostile states using economic coercion to their advantage. We need to build on our alliance with the United States to protect our economy.
• That is why the Prime Minister used his visit to Washington to drive forward cooperation, securing the Atlantic Declaration, a new approach to the economic relationship between our countries. This plan will see us embark on the deepest level of economic cooperation either of our two countries have ever had with another country.   
• An enhanced economic relationship with the US will help deliver on our promise to grow the economy, create new jobs, and keep our people safe for years to come.
