US Ambassador Warren Stephens hails UK 'special relationship' as nation marks 250th anniversary: 'Our closest ally!'

US Ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens has hailed the "special relationship" between the two nations, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary on Independence Day.

Speaking exclusively to GB News Political Editor Christopher Hope at his residence, Mr Stephens gave the People's Channel special access to the 250th birthday celebrations in London.

Discussing the relationship between the UK and the US, Mr Stephens said: "I think there's every reason in the world that our relationship will be the same in another 250 years.

"Of course, nobody really knows where it's going to be in 250 years or even 20 years, but my strong suspicion is that it'll be even better and we'll continue to work with the United Kingdom in so many areas across the world that that we do have common interest in.

"I'd be sad if it wasn't because it really is a special relationship, and the UK is our closest ally."
