A Downing Street spokesperson said:
“The Prime Minister met US President Biden at the White House
today.
“The leaders welcomed the agreement of 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.
“The Prime Minister and President Biden both agreed that, as
likeminded countries with deeply interconnected advanced
economies, the UK and US are perfectly placed to take on the
challenges of the future.
“The first agreements under the Atlantic Declaration include new
commitments on supporting one another’s critical supply chains,
developing new, clean technologies and removing barriers to the
uninterrupted exchange of goods and services between our
economies.
“The leaders agreed that accelerating international cooperation
on safe and responsible AI development is one of the pressing
issues of our age. As frontier nations, the UK and US will be a
crucial part of these efforts alongside international
partners.
“The Prime Minister and President Biden agreed that our economic
cooperation forms a fundamental part of the UK-US relationship,
complementing our incredibly strong defence and security
alliance.
“The leaders welcomed ongoing progress on AUKUS, as well as UK
and US leadership in NATO.
“They agreed that the UK and US continue to have an important
role to play in bringing stability in regions throughout the
world, and countering state and non-state hostile
activity. This includes supporting Ukraine in their fight
against Putin’s illegal invasion.
“The leaders looked forward to seeing one another again at next
month’s NATO Summit in Vilnius.”
