Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke today with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on a range of pressing global issues. Both leaders expressed eagerness to begin working together immediately to further our many shared foreign policy objectives. They affirmed the depth of the U.S.-UK Special Relationship and the crucial nature of our partnership in addressing issues like the conflict in the Middle East, Russia’s war against Ukraine, and China’s malign influence. They also heralded joint initiatives, including the AUKUS partnership, which promotes a free and open Indo-Pacific that is secure and stable.
