What's going to be important is having the opportunity to actually sit down with President [Donald] Trump and talk to him face to face, about the interests we share, about the special relationship, about the joint challenges we both face. Talking about the future of NATO is one of the issues we will discuss.

I want a counter-terrorism regime that is proportionate, focused and transparent.

The internet is changing all forms of communication, and this definitely includes political communication.

I think that special relationship between the UK and the US has been an important part of security across the world particularly to the West.
