Mr President – it’s a pleasure to welcome you to Chequers.
This historic second state visit –
Is a moment to celebrate the unique bond between our two countries.
But today we’ve gone far beyond that –
We have renewed the special relationship for a new era.
The United Kingdom and the United States stand together today…
As first partners on defence…
First partners in trade – with the groundbreaking deal we struck in May…
And now – with the new agreement that we have just signed this afternoon –
We are confirming our status…
As first partners in science and technology…
Ready to define this century together –
Just as we did the last.
This Tech Partnership has the power to change lives…
It’s our chance to ensure that technologies like AI, quantum and others amplify human potential
