00:00Good evening, everyone.
00:03Thanks very much for being here.
00:05I really appreciate it.
00:07This is, of course, my first week as prime minister, but I've come here to Washington,
00:133,500 miles from home, for a very simple reason.
00:20Together with our allies today, we have reaffirmed our unshakable support for Ukraine's ultimate
00:26victory, our determination to deliver justice for the awful crimes that Russia has committed.
00:36Britain belongs on the world stage, so I am determined to reset our relationship with
00:42Europe, return to leadership on climate change, and engage more deeply with the global south.
