A key priority in the Strategic Defence and Security Review was to reinforce the UK's pre-eminent defence and security relationship with the United States. We have closely engaged with the US throughout the review and they have responded positively to the outcome, appreciating particularly our commitment to retain the full spectrum of military capabilities. As a result of the review we will seek to strengthen joint efforts in key priority areas.
