Biden, Johnson Commit to Further Enhance US-UK Bilateral Defence

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson issued a joint statement after a meeting on Thursday in which they vowed to further strengthen bilateral defence efforts.

The two leaders have committed to a global minimum tax of at least 15 percent.

On Nuclear Security

Biden and Johnson said they reiterated their commitment to effective arms control with an aim to have a world without nuclear weapons.

On Good Friday Agreement

The United States and the United Kingdom have confirmed their commitment to the 1998 Good Friday Peace Agreement in Northern Ireland, the two leaders said on Thursday.

The agreement has looked increasingly fragile as violence and protests have spread around Northern Ireland following a European Union move to limit the export of coronavirus vaccines into Northern Ireland in case they were then re-exported to the United Kingdom.

Biden and Johnson said they remained fully committed to the 1998 agreement that established new democratic institutions in Northern Ireland, provided for consultation and cooperation across all of Ireland and created structures for British-Irish engagement.
