⚽ The world is coming to the United States.

To celebrate the start of the FIFA World Cup, our Embassy and Consulates took a football on a journey across America, stopping at iconic landmarks from coast to coast.

This summer, cities across the U.S. will welcome fans from around the globe for the world’s biggest sporting event. We’ll be cheering on England and Scotland, and celebrating the people-to-people connections that make sport such a powerful force for bringing us together.

Let the games begin!

Today, we mark VE Day, when the Second World War in Europe came to an end.

On May 8, 1945, the UK, the US and Allied nations stood together to defeat tyranny and help secure freedom across Europe.

Eighty years on, we remember the courage, sacrifice and resilience of all who served and endured, and honour the enduring partnership built in the pursuit of peace.

We will remember them.

The UK is expanding the Marshall Scholarship programme this year to offer up to 10 new STEM-focused scholarships to talented American students, renewing our science and tech partnership for the future.

Marshall Scholarships finance talented young Americans to study for a graduate level degree in the United Kingdom, which King Charles III’s called “emblematic” of the connection between the US and UK in his address to a Joint Session of Congress earlier this week.

“Our ties in education, research, and cultural exchange empower citizens and future leaders of both countries.

“The Marshall Scholarship, named after the great General George Marshall, and the Association of which I am so proud to be patron, are emblematic of the connection between our two countries.

“Since its founding, more than 2,300 scholarships have been awarded, opening doors for Americans from all walks of life to study at the United Kingdom’s leading universities.”

After a journey that celebrated the American people in their 250th year and the enduring strength of the relationship between the United Kingdom and United States, Their Majesties’ State Visit has come to a close. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

From an Embassy Garden Party to the White House and the halls of Congress, followed by moments of remembrance, community, and connection in New York and Virginia, this visit reflected the breadth and depth of a partnership rooted in shared values, shared history, and shared ambition.

Their Majesties’ engagements told a story of friendship between our nations and our people. From security and industry to creativity, service, and the great outdoors, this State Visit showed why we are #GreaterTogether.
