Freedom of the press is a fundamental democratic right. I pay tribute to the brave job journalists do every day.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay , we also think of all the journalists who’ve been detained around the world. We will not cease to support them & campaign for their release.

Another fantastic White House Correspondents’ dinner weekend! It was wonderful to join our partners at POLITICO, CNN and others from across the media to honour the important work that journalists around the world do every day.

Troops from Australia, New Zealand, US and UK share a close and enduring bond, and it’s a friendship we value very much today. I was honoured to join a poignant Anzac Day service in Washington DC, at the WW1 Memorial, commemorating Gallipoli and other battles.

Given the deep bond between Royal Marines & US Marines - & the vital work they do, I didn’t mind handing over a trophy to the U.S. Marines’s Jui Jitsu team at Ex Virginia Gauntlet!

Thanks U.S. Marinesfor hosting me & congrats to the @royalmarineswho defended their honour and took top prize.

2 years have passed since Vladimir Kara-Murza was arrested on politically motivated charges after standing up against Putin's dictatorship. The UK is calling for his immediate release on humanitarian grounds. #FreeKaraMurza

The UK and the US are united in backing Ukraine as they fight off Putin’s aggression. We stand up for freedom and democracy when they are under threat.

Secretary Antony Blinken and I are working together to sustain vital international support for our friends in Ukraine. Supporting them goes…

NATO is the foundation of Euro-Atlantic stability & as it marks its 75th anniversary, it’s never been more crucial.
From the very beginnings at its first HQ in London, on this day in 1949, until today, it has protected one billion people; standing ever-firm.
Happy birthday NATO!

The news of the airstrike that killed World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers in Gaza is deeply distressing.

British Nationals are reported to have been killed, we are urgently working to verify this information and will provide full support to their families.

Journalism is not a crime. The Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia simply for doing his job. A year on, we stand together in defence of press freedom.

Anything that restricts the flow of information is anti-democratic & against our values. #IStandWithEvan

Saddened to hear of the passing of Senator Lieberman. He was a good friend to the UK & his legacy is one of commitment and dedication to a life of public service. My thoughts are with his loved ones during this time.

Terrible news from Baltimore following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. My thoughts are with those affected by this terrible incident and I pay tribute to the service and incredible bravery of the emergency responders working hard on the ongoing rescue operations.

'Few allies have done more for Ukraine and the eastern front of NATO than the UK' - so says the prestigious Hudson Institute
Hear our Ambassador to the US Dame Karen Pierce explain exactly why that is so vital to global security.

Our 8th trade MoU with a US state was signed today alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott!

Texas has a GDP of nearly £2tn (bigger than 🇪🇸🇦🇷🇸🇪) & our trade in goods was worth over £14bn in 2023.

This new cooperation will help us take our trade relationship to the next level⬆️

This agreement marks an exciting next step for trade and economic cooperation between the UK and Texas!

As the second largest economy in the US, this partnership with Texas will bring a wide range of opportunities for industry, boosting business on both sides of the Atlantic.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the production of The Zone of Interest, #ChristopherNolan , and all of the other amazing 🇬🇧 nominees and winners from last night's #Oscars ! A fantastic testament to the incredible talent and success of the UK's thriving creative industries.
