<p>We welcome the publication of the US' National Defense Strategy on 19 January 2018.
The Government and the US Administration have a shared understanding of many of the
serious challenges it outlines. In particular, the renewed emphasis given by the Strategy
to inter-state strategic competition echoes our concern regarding the risk to the
UK and Europe from state-based threats. With a clear emphasis on allies and partners,
including NATO, to achieve its objectives, the document provides a useful framework
on which to focus joint and allied efforts. The US and UK are very close allies and
partners, with a uniquely broad and deep defence and security relationship, and we
will continue to work together on issues vital to the UK's security and prosperity."</p>
