PRESS RELEASE : Prime Minister call with President Trump of the United States [January 2026]

The press release issued by 10 Downing Street on 8 January 2026.

The Prime Minister spoke to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, this afternoon.

The leaders discussed Euro-Atlantic security and agreed on the need to deter an increasingly aggressive Russia in the High North.

European Allies had stepped up in recent months to defend Euro-Atlantic interests, but more could be done to protect the area, the Prime Minister said.

The leaders looked forward to speaking again soon.
