Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.

Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.

Not when our country is at stake.

[UK Department for Business and Trade MEaP @tradegovukMEaP]

🌍At #COP16Riyadh the @biztradegovuk team hosted 🇬🇧 companies looking to connect with 🇸🇦 partners on a shared mission to fight desertification.

#GREATFUTURES creates opportunities to leverage the skills & expertise of our two Kingdoms for a sustainable future.🌱@ukinsaudiarabia

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Closer UK-Saudi cooperation will drive investment into cities and regions across the UK.

Major green energy projects will create the jobs of the future and help deliver on our Plan for Change, kickstarting economic growth and putting more money in working people’s pockets.

Great to be part of the @biztradegovuk team supporting the PM's visit to KSA today. 🇬🇧🇸🇦

Key focus on UK-Saudi business links, with Manchester's GIM Graphene making headlines with the world’s first commercial production of graphene-enriched carbon fibre.

From -30°C in Ottawa to +30°C in Riyadh it’s been quite the adjustment! 🥵

But what a time to be in 🇸🇦, working with @biztradegovuk and @UKinSaudiArabia to showcase the very best of 🇬🇧 business in the Kingdom.

What a memorable way to spend my last day at the 🇬🇧High Commission.

It’s been an honour to work with the Ottawa Press corps and 🇨🇦 journalists across the country.

#cdnpoli #FreePress

[UK in Canada 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @UKinCanada]

The 🇬🇧 and 🇨🇦 share many values, but our belief in a free press is among the most important.

We were honoured to welcome members of the Ottawa press corps to High Commissioner @SusannahGoshko’s residence for our 3rd annual #Uncensored Media Freedom Dinner last weekend.

Happy #CanadaDay 🇨🇦🍁

8 years ago we arrived in Vancouver just the two of us.

Yesterday I returned to the UK as a family of 5. I’ll always be grateful for the home Canada has provided us. I know we’ll back again one day.

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

To the veterans of D-Day who heroically fought for our freedom, we salute you.

Saddened to learn this morning that former Canadian PM Brian Mulroney has passed away. He was a friend and often wise adviser.

The partnership between the UK and Canada is based on shared history and values and we join in mourning his death.

My sincere condolences are with his family and the Canadian people.

[Tom Walsh @CanadaWalsh]
