The Prime Minister’s Office released photos of Johnson and Biden over the phone.
Biden had a phone call with British Prime Minister Johnson for the first time since he took office. The spokesman for the British prime minister’s office revealed that Johnson welcomed Biden to direct the United States to join the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization on the phone. However, the analysis noted that later press releases issued by the United Kingdom and the United States indicated that the two countries may have some differences on trade issues.
The spokesperson said Johnson praised Biden for his actions in fighting climate change. The two also emphasized the importance of participating in NATO. Both parties will adhere to the common values of protecting human rights and democracy. At the same time, they discussed the benefits of a free trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States. The spokesperson quoted Johnson as saying that he hopes to “resolve the current trade difficulties (both parties) currently facing as soon as possible.”
Former US President Trump led the US to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization. At that time, he noted that the emission reduction measures stipulated by the Paris Climate Agreement affected the United States economy, and the World Health Organization favored China in handling the new global epidemic of corona pneumonia.
Johnson then posted on social media that he hoped the UK and US would deepen their alliance in dealing with the new corona pneumonia epidemic.
What tactics does the new US President Biden have in foreign policy?
What else did they say?
The spokesperson for the British Prime Minister’s Office also quoted Johnson as saying that he would look forward to working with Biden at the upcoming G7, G20 and United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) summits if circumstances permit.
The White House also issued a statement on this call, citing Biden as saying that it hopes to strengthen the “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States and reinvigorate this “transatlantic relationship.”
Johnson previously said the United States “has been through a difficult period” in the past. He described Biden and Kamala Harris (Kamala Harris; He Jinli in Chinese) as an “important moment in the common goal of the United Kingdom and the United States.”
BBC political journalist Chris Mason analyzed that every time the White House welcomes a new owner, the outside world will start to watch the sequence of their calls with foreign leaders, because this allows the outside world to see a little of the new owner of the White House, foreign policy.
The call between Biden and Johnson was reported to have lasted about 35 minutes. Johnson was also the first European leader to call Biden.
Mason believes that the two people’s approach to climate change is logical in terms of politics and diplomacy, because this is an issue on which both sides have consensus, especially as Scotland is preparing to hold the United Nations Conference on Climate Change. Climate Change (COP26) in November of this year.
The BBC’s political affairs editor, Laura Kuenssberg, also previously analyzed that the British side believes that Biden and Johnson have common goals on many issues.
But Mason noted that the statement released by the British Prime Minister’s Office after the call between the two mentioned that the two had discussed trade issues, but the US statement did not. Mason said outsiders hope the two countries have no results. Short term.
