Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to harmonise military and other efforts with the USA to achieve the President's aim to "unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth".

The Prime Minister, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May)'s visit to the United States of America (26-27 January) was an opportunity to discuss a range of shared priorities and challenges, including the fight against Daesh. We will continue to work closely with the USA as part of the Global Coalition against Daesh, where the UK plays a leading role through airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, training the Iraqi Security Forces, cutting off Daesh’s finances and countering their poisonous narrative.

We have an extremely strong defence relationship with the US and look forward to continuing to work together to ensure our security and prosperity.
