It's a great honour and privilege for me to be here to meet you for the first time. I've heard a lot about you, but it's fantastic to be here," said Johnson.He also thanked the US government for cooperating now at a higher and more intense level referring to the Kabul airlift."And I want to thank the -- the US government -- your government -- for many ways in which we are cooperating now at, I think, a higher and more intense level than at any time I can remember. I want to -- I want to single out the amazing work, the brave work of the U.S. military in helping the Kabul airlift. We could not have done that without U.S. leadership, and I'm grateful for that," said Johnson.He also thanked the US for allowing British citizens to visit the country after getting both jabs of COVID-19 vaccines."I want to thank also the U.S. government for what they've done -- what you've done in allowing us Brits to come to -- to the United States with two -- with two jabs. That's great. That's a great improvement on the previous arrangements. And thank you for all your hard work on that," said Johnson.Talking about trade relations between the two countries, Johnson said, "We are seeing a great deal of progress. The ban on beef -- your curious ban on British beef has been removed, which is a wonderful thing, and -- as well as the tariffs on Scotch whiskey. But -- and there's a great deal of progress we want to make in that, and that I hope that we can make. "He also thanked Biden for reassuring the world that America is committed to helping the world to tackle climate change."I thank the US government for the -- and President Joe Biden for the steps you've taken to reassure the world that America is committed to helping the world to tackle climate change," said Johnson.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
