Asked what the Government reaction would be if a junior member of President Bush's Government visited the UK and started dictating foreign policy, the PMS said he did not think anybody was telling anybody how to run their foreign policy. The PMS thought the interpretation that was put on Douglas Alexander's words this morning was extraordinary. This was not the interpretation that the PMS would have put on the speech when he read it. As the Prime Minister made clear this morning, he thought that we needed to have a very strong relationship between Britain and the United States and between a British Prime Minister and US President. What he would not do was allow people to separate the United Kingdom from the US in dealing with the common challenges we face around the world.
