Welcome back to America @Keir_Starmer! 🇺🇸 The Prime Minister is in DC to meet with @POTUS to discuss economic growth and global security. PM: "The world is becoming more dangerous and it is more important than ever that we are united with our allies. "There are huge opportunities for us to deepen our special relationship, deliver growth and security, and improve the lives of working people in both our great nations."

Last year @VP @JDVance and I shared a panel at Munich from opposition. It was great to see him again today in Munich from government. We reaffirmed the UK-US special relationship and discussed building on our strong trade which already delivers growth and jobs for millions.

Farewell Ambassador @KarenPierceUK! An incredible 5 years of service representing the UK across the US. From defence, to investment, to tech, to the creative industries; you've made an extraordinary contribution to the deep ties that bind our 2 nations. Thank you for everything!

I am incredibly saddened by the news of last night’s plane crash in DC. My deepest sympathies go out to the families and all those suffering the pain of loss. My thoughts are with you and all the first responders at the scene.

I am deeply shocked by the tragic scenes coming out of Washington D.C. My thoughts are with all those on board and their families desperately waiting for news. I pay tribute to the emergency services for their dedicated work in such challenging conditions and I send the UK’s condolences to the United States at this time.
