As close NATO & G7 allies, it's a great opportunity to discuss major global challenges: Iran; tensions in the Middle East; support for 🇺🇦. Also important to talk about our bilateral relations & 🇬🇧🇪🇺 ties.

The long awaited $60 billion US support package to #Ukraine 🇺🇦 is a huge relief & a powerful signal to Putin and his cronies that they will not win their war of aggression.
