It’s more vital than ever that we work together on issues which affect us all. This is the approach Britain will bring to our own G20 Presidency next year.  We want a G20 focused on practical cooperation and shared interests, putting economic prosperity at the heart of our Presidency for the benefit of Brits and the world.

With U.S. and UK military bands playing and the time capsule lowered beneath the Washington Monument, a piece of UK/US history was sealed for the next 250 years. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 On 29 September 2026, a joint UK/US time capsule was installed beneath the Washington Monument plaza as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations and the enduring friendship between the United Kingdom and the United States. The capsule includes letters from His Majesty King Charles III, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and others, alongside student essays, poems and artwork, historical documents, commemorative artefacts, and a Royal Mint coin dedicated by His Majesty The King during the recent State Visit, when Their Majesties viewed the capsule before its installation. It is the “twin” of a matching capsule placed beneath the restored George Washington statue in London’s Trafalgar Square in 2025, linking two capitals, two landmarks and a shared history. Inscribed on the capsule itself: “Do not open until July 4th, 2276.” Special thanks to U.S. Secretary of the Interior @DougBurgum, former Governor Glenn Youngkin and Suzanne Youngkin, Assistant Secretary Kevin Lilly, and the Friends of the Washington Statue for helping bring today’s ceremony to life, alongside British Ambassador to the United States Sir Christian Turner. #GreaterTogether #America250 #UKUS

London is calling. ☎️ 🎶 Before the Washington @Commanders head across the Atlantic for the NFL London Games, we were proud to give them a proper British send-off. 🏈 The NFL’s success in the UK is about more than gameday. London has become one of the league’s most important international markets, attracting more than 200,000 fans annually, helping grow a UK fanbase of more than 13 million, and generating over £30 million in economic impact per game. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 As the Commanders head to London, they’re taking part in one of the most successful international sports partnerships in the world. Good luck, and safe travels, Commanders! See you in London. ☎️🇬🇧 @NFLUKIRE

UK-Tennessee collaboration is helping drive the future of fusion energy. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸 Together we're building the skills, supply chains and frameworks needed to commercialise fusion and create economic opportunities. #FusionEnergy #UKUSPartnership #CleanGrowth
The Tennessee Valley continues to play a leading role in the future of fusion energy. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧 We’re working with the State of Tennessee and the United Kingdom to strengthen collaboration and help accelerate the commercial deployment of fusion energy, with a focus on strengthening supply chains, developing the workforce and supporting effective regulation. The collaboration builds on fusion projects already underway in Tennessee and the United Kingdom, including the Project Infinity in Tennessee and the UK Infinity Fusion Consortium. Together, these efforts connect expertise from TVA, Type One Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tokamak Energy, the UK Atomic Energy Authority and partners across the fusion supply chain. By working together, we’re helping create the conditions to bring commercial fusion online while supporting new workforce and economic opportunities in the Tennessee Valley.

A powerful story from @UKinNewYork. #NeverForget911
Jonathan Egan was in his first week at college when he lost his father and his aunt in the September 11 attacks - they were among 67 British nationals who lost their lives on 9/11. 25 years later, we honour all those who were lost, and vow to #NeverForget

“9/11 changed everything.” @BritishArmy Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Foreman-Jones reflects on serving alongside U.S. forces and how the UK and U.S. adapted, innovated and operated together in the years after 9/11. Twenty-five years later, those bonds endure. #September11 #NeverForget @UKinNewYork @BritishArmyUSA @DefenceHQ

"People who have been involved in it, been affected by it, really have a duty to remember, and to make sure that nobody forgets." #NeverForget911
Bradford Billet OBE was on the frontlines of NYC's response to the 9/11 attacks, helping victims from the UK, US, and around the world. For his work, Bradford was awarded a OBE, a chivalric honour, by Queen Elizabeth II.   #September11 #NeverForget

A stuffed lamb sent from the UK to a young boy who lost his father on 9/11 retains a place in his family to this day, 25 years later. #NeverForget911
Collin McHale was born weeks after his father was tragically lost on 9/11. Shortly after the tragedy, a young girl in England sent his family a cherished token of kindness. 25 years since 9/11, the UK and US stand together in grief and strength. #NeverForget #September11

Remembering all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11, 25 years ago today. A commemorative Guard Change took place on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace this morning, during which The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester took the Royal Salute on behalf of The King. The ceremony included performances of both US and UK National Anthems, Hymn to the Fallen and Amazing Grace. Earlier this year, Their Majesties paid their respects at the 9/11 Memorial in New York, as part of the State Visit to the United States.

9/11 was more than an assault on our closest ally. It was an attack on our deepest values. As HM King Charles said during the State Visit, we will always stand united in our commitment to democracy, to protect our people, and to salute those who keep us safe
