Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to assess the commitment of the Government of the United States of America to (a) the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and (b) the United Nations.

The UK is a strong supporter of both NATO and the United Nations, and of the rules-based international system more generally. The US is actively engaged in both bodies and we work closely with them, including in encouraging reforms, encouraging burden sharing and in dealing with key threats to peace and security, such as passing UNSCRs 2451 and 2452 to support the peace process in Yemen.
