PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS

February 5, 2021 by

29 Jan 21. Defence Committee – Evidence Session Announcement. Defence to hold session on NATO and US-UK defence relations. On Tuesday 2 February, at 14.30, the Defence Committee will hold a one-off evidence session on NATO and US and UK defence relations. The session will explore the challenges and opportunities for strengthening NATO, US and UK defence relations within the context of a new US Administration and the UK’s departure from the European Union. The session will explore the likely change in approach of the Biden Administration, which is expected to re-engage with multilateral organisations, agreements and treaties, conduct a more internationalist foreign policy and repair relations with allies, as well as the potential lasting impact of President Trump’s “America First” policies. The session will examine the UK as an ally to the US, and the policies that may enhance the US-UK defence relationship, as well as the role of NATO.

  • Lord Darroch KCMG, former UK Ambassador to Washington (2016-2019) and National Security Adviser (2012-15)
