00:00So I know you told the BBC that President Biden was in really good form during your meeting.

00:05Obviously, we're hearing lots of different accounts from people who have had meetings with the president,

00:10and 51 million Americans watching that debate two weeks ago saw something different than really good form.

00:16If you were to witness a concerning development, would you say something?

00:21Yes, of course.

00:23But, I mean, I yesterday spent 45 minutes with the president.

00:28We'd spoken on the phone, as you can imagine, but this was an opportunity to discuss a number of issues.

00:35We were billed for 45 minutes, we probably went on for the best part of an hour,

00:39covered a lot of ground, and he was in good form.

00:42And it was also a really good opportunity for me, as the new prime minister of the United Kingdom,

00:48just literally in week one, to speak to the president about the special relationship,

00:54which matters to him, matters to me.

00:57And, of course, to make absolutely clear our unshakable support for NATO, to be here at the NATO summit.

01:03So it was a good session, covered a lot of ground, strategic stuff as well.

01:09And obviously, we've had two days of the council now,

01:13with actually a very successful outcome, President Zelensky saying, this is a success.

01:19And so I do think he deserves credit for that.
