00:00I think lots of people have made comments in the past, including members of the President-elect's
00:05administration.
00:06I think the very positive relationship the Foreign Secretary's had with President-elect

00:13since shows that we have a strong relationship on which to operate.
00:17President-elect Trump had a very positive call with the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary
00:21this week.
00:22He recognised the importance of the US-UK relationship and I think both countries want
00:26to strengthen and deepen that trading relationship as well as on defence and security and we
00:31look forward to working with the new administration on that basis.
