Secretary of State Tillerson and British Foreign Secretary Remarks

At a joint news conference in London, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson responded to a question on U.S.-U.K. relations following the intelligence leak surrounding the Manchester bombing. Secretary Tillerson repeated that the U.S. takes full responsibility and has called for an immediate investigation into the matter. He added that the special relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. will withstand this “unfortunate” event. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson thanked the U.S. for its support and said the two discussed Syria, North Korea, and Iran during their meeting earlier. close
