Our Congressional delegation came to the United Kingdom to reaffirm our nations’ enduring relationship & to deepen the bonds between parliaments. In our discussions, we expressed how the relationship remains crucial in the fight against anti-democratic forces around the globe.
Yesterday, @CommonsSpeaker extended to our delegation the privilege of an official welcome to @HouseofCommons & a ceremonial luncheon with senior Members of Parliament. We also met with @BorisJohnson & discussed the determination of allied nations to counter Russian aggression.
Our delegation also held additional bilateral meetings with senior British leaders @trussliz & @Keir_Starmer to discuss the importance of the NATO alliance & transatlantic partnership, the COVID-19 response & the imperative of transitioning to diversified green energy solutions.
During our visit to London, President Putin further escalated his aggression against Ukraine. I applaud @POTUS for his forceful leadership today in imposing the first tranche of swift and severe sanctions.
As part of our visit, our delegation also met with a dedicated and courageous group of activists for human rights in China, recognizing the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party’s decades-long campaign of repression against the Chinese people.
Following our meetings in Israel, Germany & the United Kingdom, we return with confidence in our partnerships abroad & inspired to continue working to strengthen security, economy & democratic governance for people around the world. Read my full statement: speaker.gov/newsroom/22222…
