The final day of Donald Trump’s state visit concluded with a joint press conference held between the prime minister and his US counterpart at the PM’s country home, Chequers.
Speaking at the joint press conference, the prime minister hailed the "historic second state visit," claiming it was "a moment to celebrate the unique bond between our two countries".
Responding to a wide-range of questions, the at times unpredictable US president, expressed his disappointment in Russian President Vladimir Putin, admitting the Russian leader had "really let him down".
On questions of Palestinian statehood, a key point of difference in UK-US foreign policy, the president was keen to direct conversation to the ongoing plight of the hostages and the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7 2023.
The President brushed off a question about the recently sacked Peter Mandelson, claiming, despite much evidence to the contrary he never knew the former British ambassador.
Questions were also asked on renewable energy, migration, free speech and the recent suspension of the US talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
